"This Was Not A Prince's Battle": Raj Thackeray's Son After Mahim Defeat

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena failed to open its account and got just 1.5 per cent voteshare

Following a defeat in his electoral debut, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray's son Amit has said he accepts the mandate. The 32-year-old said he did not contest this election as a "prince", but as a common activist fighting for Maharashtra and its people.

Amit Thackeray contested the election from Mumbai's Mahim seat and finished a distant third. His uncle Uddhav Thackeray's party, Shiv Sena (UBT) won the seat with Mahesh Baliram Sawant clinching a slim victory with a margin of 1,316 votes.
