There are some dissatisfaction among the Maha Yuti factions. The BJP members are reportedly criticizing the NCP for supporting Nawab Malik, who had initially filed nomination as an independent candidate from Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar but later said he would fight on an NCP ticket. . Malik’s alleged relationship with Dawood Ibrahim does not go well with the saffron party, but Malik’s contest from the seat is also good for its Indian partner, the Samajwadi Party, whose member has held the seat since 2009. It becomes a problem. Meanwhile, voting will be held in Jharkhand. November 13th and 20th — 634 candidates submitted their candidacy for the second stage.
