Ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the counting of votes will take place on November 20. The election results will be announced on November 23. Meanwhile, whether it is Mahavikas Aghadi or Mahayuti, rebellion is seen in many seats and fights between alliance parties in many seats. Meanwhile, NCP leader Nawab Malik Mankhurd will contest the elections as an independent from Shivajinagar assembly seat. However, Nawab Malik, who came to file his nomination on Wednesday, said it now remains to be seen whether he will contest the elections as an independent candidate or as an NCP candidate. Now, Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekhar Bawankule has made a statement in this regard.
What did Chandrashekhar Bawankule say about Nawab Malik?
Regarding Nawab Malik, Chandrashekhar Bawankule said that our role regarding Nawab Malik is clear. Devendra Fadnavis has made his role clear by writing an open letter to Ajit Pawar telling him that Nawab Malik should not be given entry in Mahayuti. In Mahayuti we have candidates facing each other in some seats, but there are not many of those types. We are finding a way out through conversations. If things don’t work out, there could be a friendly fight for two or three seats. He said that in Mahayuti, all parties feel that their leader should become Chief Minister, but our fight is not about becoming Chief Minister. We are fighting the people’s battle.
Shock over Nawab Malik’s candidacy
Meanwhile, the BJP is angry with the NCP’s Ajit faction for making Nawab Malik the candidate from Mankhurd Shivajinagar. On Wednesday, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya said that Nawab Malik is a terrorist and has tried to ruin the country. Somaiya said that Nawab Malik is an agent of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and Ajit Pawar’s NCP has betrayed the country by giving a ticket to Nawab Malik. Let us tell you that earlier regarding Nawab Malik, BJP leader Ashish Shelar had said that Nawab Malik is related to Dawood Ibrahim. Let us tell you that since the early days, the BJP has been protesting against the appointment of Nawab Malik as NCP.
