Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis objects to inclusion of Nawab Malik in ruling alliance, writes letter to Ajit Pawar
Mumbai, December 7, 2023: In a move that could potentially create unrest within the ruling alliance in Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has expressed his objection to the inclusion of Nawab Malik in the government. He has written a letter to his counterpart Ajit Pawar, stating that Malik is facing serious allegations and including him in the "Mahayuti" alliance would be inappropriate.
Fadnavis's letter highlights the allegations of money laundering against Malik and the fact that he is currently out on bail. He argues that including Malik in the government would be detrimental to its image and create confusion amongst the public.
This letter has sent shockwaves through the state's political landscape. Experts believe that it could lead to increased tension within the Shinde-Fadnavis government.
Our Opinion:
We believe that including Nawab Malik in the Mahayuti alliance would be a mistake. The serious allegations against him and his current bail status make him unfit to be a part of the government. Doing so would undoubtedly damage the government's image and erode public trust.
If Ajit Pawar goes ahead with Malik's inclusion, it could significantly escalate the existing tensions within the Shinde-Fadnavis government, potentially jeopardizing its stability.
