The South Central constituency, which includes Dadar, Matunga, Mahim, King's Circle, Wadala, Dharavi, Sion and Anushakti Nagar among others, will see a faceoff between the old and the young. The candidates to watch out for are Shiv Sena's Rahul Shewale, 46, who is looking at increasing the margin of his 2014 win, and Congress's Eknath Gaikwad, 79, a senior candidate who is sticking to basics by claiming to be available round-the-clock for those in his constituency.

Shewale, who is the current Lok Sabha MP from the constituency, won by a margin of 1.38 lakh votes against Gaikwad in 2014. He is looking at upping the numbers this year, while Gaikwad's daughter Varsha, who is the sitting MLA in the area, is leaving no stone unturned to promote her father. A focal point of the contest between the two remains the non-implementation of the Dharavi redevelopment project (DRP).
