BJP leader Piyush Goyal faces Congress's Bhushan Patil in the Mumbai North seat election. Goyal, a born Mumbaikar, has been criticized by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut and Congress leader Varsha Gaikwad for labeling him an "outsider." Goyal, who is a Rajya Sabha MP, is aiming to match the winning margin of 4.65 lakh votes recorded by BJP's Gopal Shetty in the last election. Congress' Patil is asserting his identity as a local resident and a "Maharashtrian" to garner maximum votes for his party.
