Political shift
Deora's shift to Shiv Sena intensifies Worli election
Deora, a former Congress MP, had switched to Shiv Sena earlier this year. He was elected the MP from the Congress twice, in 2004 and 2009.
The Worli seat comes under the Mumbai (South) Lok Sabha area, which has been a bastion for the Deora family.
Milind's father, Murli Deora, had won from there several times between 1984 and 1998.
