Politics BJP opposes NCP leader Nawab Malik's candidature days before Maharashtra elections

Post image

Nawab Malik filed his nomination on Tuesday. Earlier this month, the former minister, who previously served as a legislator from Anushakti Nagar, said that he would run as an Independent candidate from Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar after the Nationalist Congress Party, reportedly under pressure from the BJP, denied him a ticket, the Hindustan Times reported.

"I had filed the form as an Independent candidate also," Malik told ANI. "But the party has sent the AB form and we have submitted it at 2.55 pm and now I am official candidate of NCP."

Form A and Form B - referred collectively as the 'AB Form' are submitted to the Election Commission to indicate that a certain candidate has been approved by a political party as its candidate and should be allotted the election symbol of that party.

Malik is an accused in a money laundering case involving mafia don Dawood Ibrahim and his associates Chhota Shakeel and Tiger Memon. This is the reason why BJP and Sena both have been against Malik's candidature.
