At a time when the Supreme Court provided a deadline of January 2026 for the arrangement of local elections in Mahari, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) indicated that it could fight the elections on its own steam.
“All decisions on alliances with our Alliance partners, if at all, will only be taken at local level. Most likely, because it has not been completed because it has been formally decided, but BMC elections are the only place to definitely be alliances. excretion.
The party looked at the upcoming local elections in the local authority as an opportunity to expand its strength across the regions of Maharaštra, Patel said. “And that’s a chance. Now you can see that there are local elections in the body. Mahayuti may not have to be in the body, because they are a small election. You can’t distribute seats between three alliance partners. It’s a chance to give our workers the opportunity and show our strength,” he said.
Mr. Patel talked to Hindu in an interview for sitting in Nagpur on the sideling track of the ongoing “Chintan Shibir” NCP.
‘Vidarbha more’
“Well, why not Nagpur? We’re a party that represents the whole state. I come from this region,” Patel said when he asked why the party decided to hold its Chintan Shibir in Nagpur, which is known to be the BJP fortress.
“And we should focus more and more about Visarbh, as if we wanted to focus on the rest of the state. (Alliance).
“Muslim Minister”
When Mr. Patel asked about the current Tussle among other backward classes (OVC) and Marathas in the Mahara and the resulting social tension, the Maharashtra government would make sure there would be no injustice against any community.
“We must see; these are all sensitive problems. They need to be carefully solved because they have long-term consequences. There are also legal restrictions, also constitutional restrictions. Our party has undertaken to social integration. Our party undertook them, as Shiv-Shahu-Fulu-Ambedcar’s ice in Mahashtra or country.”
The Maratha community has been protesting to look for Kunbi status for reservation in Mahari. After Mahashtra has issued an order to execute Gazette Hyderabad, which documented agricultural farmers Maratha, which were referred to as Kunbis in the former Nizam government, the community of the municipalities was in arms, which is afraid that the decision could lead to Marathas.
“We consider them all equivalent. We are the only party that has a Muslim minister. We give 10% of our seats in the vishan Sabha minorities. In the upper chamber is only a person who is a Muslim, and that is the representative of our party.
