The Assembly segments of Colaba, Mumbadevi, Malabar Hill, Worli, Byculla and Sewree are part of Mumbai South.
Post delimitation, parts of the South Central Lok Sabha seat have been merged with Mumbai South. The new additions include Byculla, Sewree and Worli. Mohan Rawale is the sitting MP from the old Mumbai South Central seat.
The new areas added to the constituency have issues of tenants, mill workers, sanitation workers besides re-development of chawls and problems related to old and dilapidated buildings, he says.
Rawale, 60, is confident of making it to the Lok Sabha for the fifth straight term. "I toured all the hospitals and met 26/11 survivors. I also spoke in Parliament on the need to upgrade police infrastructure to fight terrorism," he claimed.
He added that as the Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena president, he has worked in Mumbai South and is well versed with the issues facing the electorate.
