After a lull that lasted quite some time, the Mumbai Congress is set to have some real politicking over the city president's post. After the relocation of MLA Varsha Gaikwad in the Maha Vikas Aghadi cabinet, city leaders are seeking to replace veteran Eknath Gaikwad, who was made an interim chief after Milind Deora's exit.

Party workers feel the need for a new city unit chief since two people from one family (Gaikwads) are currently holding prominent positions in the government and party organisation.
