Mumbai, 29/12: In what appears to be a snub to the BJP, Maharashtra’s deputy chief minister and NCP president Ajit Pawar has nominated three members of the family of senior party leader and former minister Nawab Malik for contesting the elections to the BMC.
Pawar had appointed Malik as the chairman of NCP’s election management committee for Mumbai. The BJP has objected to Malik’s name in the wake of cases against him involving property deals with relatives and aides of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
