Samajwadi Party’s Maharashtra unit chief Abu Azmi on Wednesday said that the party will contest the BMC elections all alone in areas of Mumbai and Maharashtra. He added that there will be no alliance with Congress or any other party.
“What the Congress did in Bihar was wrong. The people of the country and Bihar will not forgive the Congress. We will not contest elections with Uddhav Thackeray, who, while being the Chief Minister, said in the assembly that he was proud of demolishing
the Babri Masjid. We will not form an alliance with Raj Thackeray, who kills Biharis,” he said.
Abu Azmi said Shaniwar Wada is not a religious place and some women offered prayer during Namaz. He added that filing an FIR in this case is wrong and the government also banned namaz at Bibi Ka Maqbara, a replica of the Taj Mahal in Sambhajinagar, which is wrong. “The BJP wins elections by playing Hindu-Muslim, India-Pakistan issues as they have no other issues,” he said.
