Shiv Sena candidate, Arvind Sawant, sprang a surprise by defeating Congress MP Milind Deora from Mumbai South constituency by about 128,000 votes. Sawant was said to be a lightweight, and Deora's defeat came in the backdrop of the «Modi wave». In 2019 Deora was expected to give a tougher fight, but Sawant won again, this time by about 100,000 votes. Deora is now in the Shiv Sena but the party has fielded its Byculla MLA Yamini Jadhav, setting up a contest between the two factions of the erstwhile party, as Sawant is the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) candidate.

DLF is betting big on increasing super luxury consumption and 90% of the 11.6 million square feet of projects it plans to launch in FY25 — with total revenue potential of Rs 36,000 crore — will be in the super luxury segment. The proposed launches will include apartments priced Rs 60 crore and above in Gurgaon and villas in Goa priced more than Rs 50 crore, Aakash Ohri, joint managing director at DLF Home Developers Ltd, told ET in an interaction. Edited excerpts: There are some concerns over projects getting sold out within days of launch. DLF has sold out three projects in the last 18 months. Do you think the trend is sustainable in the long term? We have seen the time when we had Rs 17,000-crore worth of unsold inventory. We have seen the struggle and pain and we don't want to go back to those days… We have to motivate brokers and investors. This is the time when people are believing in the DLF story and I don't have to prove myself to a third party. My record books are clean and anyone can come and do random checks. If people are now coming to DLF and believing that their aspirations will be met (and) their money is safe. We are not only selling fast, collecting more money faster, we are also making sure that our delivery schedules are on time to customer expectations.
