BJP fields terror attack prosecutor from Mumbai North Central, drops Poonam Mahajan

In Mumbai, the BJP sort of played a masterstroke when it decided to field Special Public Prosecutor during 26/11 Mumbai Terror attack case, Ujjwal Nikam, as its candidate from Mumbai North Central.

After his candidature was confirmed, he interacted with the media saying, “I don’t consider politics a fight. Social service can be done through politics. Service to the nation can also be done through politics. I will adopt this new funda. I have received the opportunity to serve the nation, through politics. So, I consider myself fortunate…”

He added, “For years, you saw me fighting against the accused in court. But today, BJP has given me the responsibility for which I am thankful to PM Modi, BJP chief JP Nadda, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekar Bawankule, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar. I know that politics is not for me but through you, I would like to tell everyone that the country’s Constitution, laws and security would be my priorities.

The constituency from where I have been told to contest is a very important constituency of Mumbai. This has been represented by late Manohar Joshi, Ramdas Athawale and Poonam Mahajan. These people have always raised questions in Parliament in the national interest…”
