With NCP Leader Nawab Malik set to contest the Maharashtra elections from Ajit Pawar faction . The opposition  Shiv Sena ( UBT) has come out all guns blazing against BJP and slamming particularly Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis .

Malik is set to contest from Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar seat. In response , BJP has named Shiv Sena’s Suresh Krishna Patil, who is also known as Bullet Patil, as its “official” candidate from the same constituency .

Malik in election field saw strong criticism , Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Rajya Sabha MP took at dig at Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as she wrote on X , ‘Dawood aide’ Is now BFF with Ashish Shelar and Devendra Fadnavis, the ‘Dawood buddy’ is now fighting in the alliance led by the BJP, officially. Patriotism ke certificate baantne waale kahaan hain aaj?

Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar quoted by ANI said , “BJP’s stand on this issue is very clear. We are of the view that all the partners in Mahayuti have the right to declare their own candidates, whoever they want to, but here the question is about NCP’s authorised candidate Nawab Malik who has been given a ticket. Time and again, we have made our stand clear about Dawood Ibrahim and the people connected with him. This has been already said by Devendra Fadnavis, and now I am also saying the same. So, there is no question of us campaigning for Nawab Malik. Now remains the question of supporting Sana Malik because she is also a candidate of Mahatyuti. We are of the view that there is nothing against someone, then it should be like that and each Mahayuti candidate is a candidate of BJP.”

Reacting to Shelar’s comments, Priyanka Chaturvedi, Shiv Sena ( UBT) wrote on X , Hahahahhah! Ashish Shelar says : BJP won’t campaign for Nawab Malik but will not oppose his candidature either. A party of hypocrisy and lies! Fuski Fataka!
