According to party sources, their names have been forwarded to the state high command for consideration. Shaina supporters claim that the constituency needs a new and young face.

BJP city chief Gopal Shetty said, "Nothing has been finalised on the ticket distribution and the Election Committee will take the decision, as there are many contenders," said Shetty.

Shaina had contested the Assembly election in 2004 from Bandra and lost to Baba Siddique of the Congress. She has, however, remained in the news for her social work.
