On receiving the ticket, Shaina NC said, I would like to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the leadership of Mahayuti because I believe this is my opportunity to serve Mumbaikars and show that we as Pradhan Sevaks in every field. Are here. I have been living my entire life in South Mumbai and I realize what kind of challenges citizens here face, be it cluster development, local cleanliness or open spaces. I am committed to the people of Mumbai. It is always the Mahayuti leadership that decides which candidate should be fielded from where… I do not just want to be an MLA, but I want to be their voice.
He further said that I believe it is the administration, the law and the collective consciousness of the citizens, which should be displayed in the form of good public service. I assure people that I do not have a PA, I answer all of my calls, and I will always be accessible and accountable to my citizens and all of my voters. Tomorrow morning I will go to Mumba Devi temple… then I will go to file my nomination.
