BJP had opposed the candidature of NCP leader Nawab Malik. For this reason, NCP Ajit Pawar faction has not given ticket to former minister Nawab Malik. NCP Ajit Pawar faction did not give ticket to Nawab Malik and gave ticket to his daughter Sana Malik from Anushakti Nagar. But Nawab Malik is still adamant on contesting the elections. He announced that he would definitely contest the elections. Nawab Malik’s rebellion is likely to increase the problems of NCP Ajit Pawar faction.
Nawab Malik has declared rebellion after not getting the ticket. He has expressed his desire to contest elections from Shivajinagar-Mankhurd assembly seat as an independent or from NCP.
Meanwhile, NCP leaders Praful Patel and Chhagan Bhujbal along with Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar met Nawab Malik on Saturday.
Attempt to convince Nawab Malik failed
On this occasion, when Chhagan Bhujbal was asked about this meeting, he was seen folding his hands. During this, a closed-door discussion took place between Ajit Pawar, Chhagan Bhujbal, Praful Patel and Nawab Malik.
In this meeting, senior NCP leaders had requested Nawab Malik not to contest the elections, but still Nawab Malik is adamant on contesting the elections. Nawab Malik’s first reaction after this meeting has come to light. I am committed to contest the elections, will fight, fight and fight. Malik has said that he will fill the nomination form on October 29. He said that he will contest elections from Shivaji Nagar.
BJP had opposed making Nawab Malik a candidate
Let us tell you that BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis had accused Nawab Malik of corruption. Nawab Malik had to go to jail in view of corruption charges, but currently he is on bail and he is with Ajit Pawar NCP faction. After joining Ajit Pawar’s group, BJP had opposed him and BJP leaders had opposed giving him ticket before the elections.
Recently, a meeting of the leaders of Mahayuti was held in Delhi under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. CM Eknath Shinde, Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis were also present in this meeting. It was decided in this meeting itself that Nawab Malik would not be given the ticket.
