MLC polls in Mumbai today

MUMBAI: Biennial elections to the Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) from the graduates' and teachers' constituencies in Mumbai will be held on Monday.
The teachers' constituency will witness a fight between MLC Kapil Patil and BJP rebel Manisha Kayande, while the graduates' constituency will see Shiv Sena MLC Deepak Sawant, independent candidate Rajesh Teke, and MNS's Dilip Chitre in a tight contest.
A tough battle is on the cards for the Konkan graduates' constituency, which will also go to polls on Monday. NCP's Niranjan Davkhare is pitted against BJP MLC Sanjay Kelkar. The presence of an NCP rebel candidate, Nilesh Chavan, has made the battle even more interesting. The Nashik constituency will also witness polls.
