With Ravindra Waikar now the MP for Mumbai North West, there is speculation that his wife, Manisha Waikar, may contest the Jogeshwari East Assembly constituency as a Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) candidate.

Among Shiv Sena members in the Jogeshwari Assembly constituency, there is talk that Manisha will contest in the upcoming Assembly election under the Mahayuti and Shiv Sena banner. Over the past few months, since Ravindra Waikar became an MP, Manisha has become more active, with her pictures now appearing on Shiv Sena banners in Jogeshwari.
