Shiv Sena on Thursday named 15 of 22 candidates that the party would field in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. A surprise name in the list was that of Suresh Gambhir, who will contest from the Mumbai South Central seat.

Representing Mahim as MLA, Gambhir's name came as a surprise. Although the Sena had considered fielding former MLA Visakha Raut and Mayor Shubha Raul from the constituency. Gambhir's name never even did the rounds in the media or the party circle.
