Mumbai: BJP leader and spokesperson Shaina NC, who contested the polls on a Shiv Sena ticket from the Mumbadevi constituency in south Mumbai lost to sitting Congress MLA Amin Patel. Patel is known to have done enormous work in the area.

Shaina NC, daughter of late Nana Chudasma was the BJP's face in the national media. She has been a BJP leader but as the seat went to the Eknath Shinde-led party in the seat sharing in the Mahayuti, she decided to contest on a Shiv Sena ticket and symbol bow and arrow.

The constituency comprises the famous Mumbadevi temple from which the city of Mumbai got its name and it has diverse voters - traders, middle-class families and jewellers.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde campaigned for Shaina NC and so did other Shiv Sena and BJP leaders.

A controversy erupted after Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant termed Shaina MP as "imported maal". Patel is likely to get a majority of Muslim votes in the area and he would be banking on the work he has done in the last five years. With two strong candidates, the constituency is witnessing Kaante Ki Takkar (a tough fight) for sure.
