NCP Leader Nawab Malik Criticizes Yogi Adityanath’s Slogan
Condemnation of Divisive Politics
Nawab Malik, a leader from the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has strongly criticized Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s slogan “batenge toh katenge” (divided we perish). Malik described the slogan as “disgusting” and expressed concerns over the damage caused by such politics in Uttar Pradesh. He emphasized that politics based on religion is short-lived and should focus on livelihood, clothing, and shelter instead.
Upcoming Maharashtra Elections
Malik’s remarks come as the BJP, an ally of his party, uses the slogan in its campaign for the Maharashtra Assembly election. Malik predicts a close contest in the elections and believes Ajit Pawar will emerge as a “kingmaker” after the results. He is campaigning based on his name, work, and thoughts, aligning with Ajit Pawar’s political strategy.
Political Alliances
The Mahayuti alliance, consisting of the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar-led NCP, faces the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which includes Congress, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, and Sharad Pawar-led NCP. Maharashtra will vote on November 20, with results announced on November 23.
