The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has once again fielded incumbent Parag Alavani from Vile Parle. Sandeep Naik will contest the elections on Shiv Sena (UBT) ticket.

Vile Parle assembly constituency is one of the 288 seats from the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly up for grabs. The constituency, designated by number 167, falls in Mumbai Suburban District.

Naik, however, called it “policy paralysis”, adding that nearly half of Vile Parle’s 275,325 voters are slum dwellers and nothing has been done to improve their living conditions.
