With voting day barely a week away in the city, Mumbai South constituency, considered the heart of the city, has turned into a verbal battlefield. Newly-appointed city Congress president Milind Deora is going all out against sitting MP Arvind Sawant, as part of his campaign. Deora has alleged that Sawant merely brushes off responsibility on to local corporators, claiming that his job is only to represent the constituency in the Parliament.

Milind Deora, the Congress's Mumbai South candidate, seems determined to bring back the glory of 2009 when the Congress had won all six seats in the city. The former MP has been pointing fingers at the sitting MP Arvind Sawant for his failure in taking the constituency's issues to the Lok Sabha.
