Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena on Thursday fielded Bollywood veteran Govinda from Mumbai North-West. Notably, this will be the second time that the Bhagam Bhag actor will contest the polls.

The upcoming general elections 2024, are slated to take place in seven phases, while the voting for the first phase is scheduled on April 19. The counting of the votes will take place on June 4.

During that electoral campaign, Govinda outlined his agenda focusing on transportation, health, and education, advocating for improvements in these areas. He claimed credit for the substantial progress made in the quadrupling of the Borivali-Virar section of the Western Railway zone, attributing 80% of the achievement to his efforts. Although he made some endeavors in the fields of health and education, administrative delays hindered the realization of certain projects, such as the construction of anganwadis and addressing drinking water issues in Vasai and Virar.
