Ajit Pawar and Nawab Malik.
The BJP had opposed the candidature of NCP leader Nawab Malik. Therefore, the NCP Ajit Pawar faction did not offer a ticket to former minister Nawab Malik. The NCP Ajit Pawar faction did not give a ticket to Nawab Malik but gave it to his daughter Sana Malik from Anushakti Nagar. But Nawab Malik still insisted on participating in the elections. He announced that he would definitely run in the election. Nawab Malik’s rebellion is likely to exacerbate the problems of NCP’s Ajit Pawar faction.
Nawab Malik declared rebellion after not getting votes. He expressed his wish to contest the elections from the Shivajinagar-Mankhurd assembly seat as an independent candidate or as a candidate of the NCP.
Meanwhile, NCP leaders Praful Patel and Chhagan Bhujbal and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar met Nawab Malik on Saturday.

Attempts to convince Nawab Malik failed
This time, Chagan Bhujbal was seen folding his hands when he was asked about the meeting. During this time, a closed-door discussion took place between Ajit Pawar, Chhagan Bhujbal, Praful Patel and Nawab Malik.
In this meeting, senior NCP leaders asked Nawab Malik not to participate in the elections, but Nawab Malik still insisted on participating in the elections. Nawab Malik’s first reaction after this meeting has come to light. I am committed to the election and will fight, fight, and fight. Malik said he will fill out the nomination form on October 29.
BJP had opposed Nawab Malik’s candidacy
Let us tell you that BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis has accused Nawab Malik of corruption. Nawab Malik had to be jailed on corruption charges but is currently out on bail and belongs to Ajit Pawar’s NCP faction. The BJP had opposed Ajit Pawar after he joined his group and the BJP leaders were also opposed to giving him votes before the elections.
Recently, a meeting of Mahayutri leaders chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah was held in Delhi. CM Eknath Shinde, Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis were also present at the meeting. The meeting itself decided not to award a ticket to Nawab Malik. His daughter will be a candidate.
