Nawab Malik will participate in the elections as an independent or NCP candidate
Voting will be held on November 20 in view of the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections. After this, the election results will be announced on November 23. On the one hand, in Mahavikas Aghadi there is still controversy in this regard, so Mahavikas Aghadi candidates have faced each other in many seats. On the other hand, there are some seats in Mahayuti also over which there is controversy. This is the reason why NCP leader Nawab Malik is asking to contest the elections as an independent and the BJP has opposed his NCP candidature.
What did Nawab Malik say after filing his nomination?
In fact, in view of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, NCP leader Nawab Malik today filed his nomination from the Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar Assembly seat. After filing the nomination, he said, “I have filed my nomination. As an independent candidate and also as an NCP candidate. I have not received the AB form from the party, if it comes on time, I will join the NCP.” I will contest the elections as a candidate or as an independent candidate.” We told you that recently the Bharatiya Janata Party had opposed the candidature of Nawab Malik. After this, it began to come to light that Nawab Malik can only contest the elections as independent.
BJP opposed Nawab Malik’s candidature
BJP leader Ashish Shelar on Tuesday said his party is against NCP leader Nawab Malik’s candidature for the November 20 Maharashtra Assembly elections. BJP Mumbai unit president Ashish Shelar said we will not agree to give tickets to anyone associated with Don Dawood Ibrahim. He said we will not support Malik and will maintain our separate stance. Let us tell you that Nawab Malik was a minister in the MVA government. In the year 2022, the NIA arrested him in the case registered against associates of Dawood and Chhota Shakeel. After the NCP split, Nawab Malik had joined the Ajit Power faction, although even during this time the BJP had opposed it.
