Samajwadi Party going alone in BMC elections!

Samajwadi Party is part of the ‘India’ block. Mahavikas Aghadi under India Block in Maharashtra includes Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and Sharad Pawar’s party NCP (SP). Despite this, Samajwadi Party is adopting the strategy of running alone in the BMC elections. Samajwadi Party’s Maharashtra unit president Abu Azmi had recently announced that SP alone will contest Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections on about 150 seats. Earlier, Samajwadi Party had also contested the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections alone, in which the party had won 2 out of 9 assembly seats.

When will BMC elections?

There is a competition among political parties to gain power over the 227-member BMC. The countdown for the elections of 29 municipal corporations including BMC in Maharashtra has started. Voting will take place on 15 January 2026 while the results will be declared on 16 January.

On Gandhi Jayanti, Maharashtra Samajwadi Party chief Abu Azmi remembered the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. During this, he targeted the BJP RSS fiercely. Abu Azmi said that the people of RSS did not contribute to India’s independence. Children should know this truth today.

In a conversation with news agency ANI, Abu Azmi said, “Whatever work the BJP will do, it will do against the Muslims. Who did not give a ticket to a single Muslim. Not a single Muslim was made a minister, poison is being sung against Muslims.”

‘Which people who sacrificed in independence should know these children’

He said, “Where is the world going from today. So much progress is being made, but we are still engaged in Hindu-Muslim, which increases hatred. I say that children should be given modern education. Modern education should be given. Children of new times should tell how our country is free. Go. “

‘RSS did not hoist the tricolor for years’

Azmi further said, RSS people do not believe in the Constitution, they did not hoist the tricolor for how many years. These people want to paint the whole country in the same color. Today, one child needs to read the constitution so that peace peace can arise in the country. “

‘RSS people used to get pension from British’

He also said, “We have read in history that when the people of RSS were jailed, they used to write a letter to the British that we will make us the indigenous movement of Gandhiji. We will get the pension from the British. What is these people contributed to the independence of India. What is the truth that is true.”

Abu azmi on nitesh rane: Ever since the talk of shooting religion in the Pahalgam terror attack, Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane is constantly attacking the Muslims of the country. Giving a controversial statement, Nitesh Rane had told the public to ask the shopkeepers to read Hanuman Chalisa before buying goods, only then buy something from them. Now Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi has given a big statement on this.

Abu Azmi says, “There are 8 cases registered against Nitesh Rane. Perhaps he is relieved from the Supreme Court, but I am going to apply in the court to cancel his relief and to register more cases. These things cannot happen to a good person.

‘Nitesh Rane did not go to Aaj Tak’- Abu Azmi
Abu Azmi, making another big claim, said, “In this country, only Hindus are heard. If it had not happened, Nitesh Rane would have been in jail. Will he go to jail till date, did not go?” He further said, “My complaint was taken cognizance of Joint Commissioner Law and Order Satyanarayana Chaudhary and said that I will take action on this and tell it that it is my promise.”

‘Opposition is not talking about religion’- Abu Azmi
In Pahalgam, people were killed by asking religion. On this, Abu Azmi said, “Opposition is not talking about religion, rather these people are doing it. If someone there asked religion, they are calling it this thing, then these people are calling it. No one is talking about religion again and again to the opposition.”

What did Abu Azmi say on ‘missing’ post
At the same time, the ruling party is an attacker on the Congress since posting a ‘missing’ picture of PM Modi. In response, Abu Azmi said that all this was said that PM Modi should have gone to Kashmir, but he did not go. I think all this should stop and there should be talk of development.

At the same time, on Gaurav Bhatia’s statement, Abu Azmi said, “If the inquiry is ordered, then you should know who is mixed with Pakistan. Milk milk will be water. Pakistanis are facing terror every day. Should sit and talk. If Pakistan is supporting such terror, then strong steps should be taken against it.”

Abu azmi on aurangzeb tomb row: The dispute in Maharashtra has deepened in Maharashtra over the removal of the grave of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party state president Abu Azmi has again reacted in Maharashtra. He has alleged that by raising this issue, people are being deviated from real issues.

‘Will the prices of cylinders be reduced?’

In Raigad, SP leader Abu Azmi raised the question and said, “Will the dead man digging the grave will progress in the country.” Will starvation end in the country? Will the prices of cylinders be reduced? Will communalism be reduced? People are being wandered by this issue. The real issue is not being talked about. ”

What did RSS say on the Aurangzeb controversy?

On the other hand, RSS promotional chief Sunil Ambedkar had on Wednesday said that this issue is irrelevant. Along with this, he had reacted to Nagpur violence and said that no violence is in the interest of society. Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray thanked RSS for this. Although he also said that Nagpur is considered a stronghold of BJP, violence took place there. There was a lot of uproar in the palace area in Nagpur on Monday (March 17).

VHP and Bajrang Dal threatened

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal had threatened the Devendra Fadnavis government of Maharashtra and said that if there is a delay in removing Aurangzeb’s grave, they would do ‘Karseva’ like Babri. Following the warning of Hinduist organizations, a large number of police forces were also deployed near Aurangzeb’s grave.

Controversy started after Abu Azmi’s statement

The controversy over the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in Maharashtra arose when Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi praised the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb. Azmi was also suspended from the assembly session regarding this matter. Abu Azmi praised Aurangzeb and said that he was not a cruel ruler. However, the SP leader later clarified that we have repeated what historians have written about Aurangzeb.
