Mumbai: The last Governor of erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir state, Satya Pal Malik, will campaign for the Maha Vikas Aghadi (I.N.D.I.A.) opposition bloc in the ensuing Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections.
“The MVA has my full support. I will also campaign for it,” the 78-year-old leader said during his second day of Mumbai visit.
Malik, who has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, met the Shiv Sena (UBT) head, Uddhav Thackeray, on Sunday.
“The MVA will emerge victorious and claimed the ruling BJP would be wiped out in the Vidhan Sabha elections…the BJP will not just receive a major blow, but the party will be wiped out in the state elections. ” Malik said.
He said that also urged the MVA leadership to make some adjustments but stay together in the assembly polls.
“We had a cursory discussion about the INDIA bloc. However, I assured them that the MVA will form the government in Maharashtra,” he said.
