The backing of the Congress candidate places Mukesh Ambani on the opposite side of the spectrum from his brother Anil Ambani, who has been relentlessly attacked by Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
The Congress candidate wrote in his tweet: “From small shopkeepers to large industrialists – for everyone, South Mumbai means business. We need to bring businesses back to Mumbai and make job creation for our youth a top priority.”
Mumbai South votes on April 29 in the fourth phase in the ongoing 17th Lok Sabha election that ends on May 19. The results will be announced on May 23.
