For the 14.07 lakh voters in Mumbai's North Central constituency, it all boils down to two candidates from the two major national parties - Poonam Mahajan, the sitting MP from BJP and former MP Priya Dutt from Congress. While campaigning in every corner of their constituency, which has a significant slum population, the candidates have focused on issues like housing and infrastructure.

The North Central constituency includes Vile Parle, Chandivli, Kurla, Kalina, Bandra east and Bandra west. Since the areas have a significant slum population, rehabilitation and housing are the biggest concerns. Both Mahajan and Dutt have stressed on the importance of rehabilitating the project affected persons (PAP) especially those living near the airport land.
