Samajwadi party mla from maharashtra and former rajya sabha MP Abu Asim Azmi wrote on social media platforms, "It is disappointing to see that Mahavikas Aghadi (India Alliance) has not nominated any Muslim candidate for any of the 48 lok sabha seats in Maharashtra.Abu Asim Azmi cornered CongressSP leader Abu Asim Azmi further wrote, "Former congress minister Arif Naseem Khan was also not given ticket from North Central mumbai lok sabha seat, due to which he also resigned." Despite passing reservation earlier, congress did not advocate Muslim reservation during the recent 2.5-year MVA tenure. "Though the Samajwadi party had requested a seat in maharashtra, the congress rejected the demand citing inadequate share in the state," he said. Despite being a major party in maharashtra, it is a matter of shame that the congress has failed to field even a single Muslim candidate.Arif Naseem Khan angry with congress high commandCongress leader Mohammad Arif Naseem Khan said that there is a lot of anger among the people and organizations of the minority community in maharashtra because there is not a single candidate from the minority community on 48 lok sabha seats. There is anger because since ancient times, congress has had the ideology of taking everyone along, whether they are from minority community, OBC community, or maratha community. There has been a tradition of giving representation to every community... He asked in a questioning tone, what is the reason that there is no candidate from the minority community? If I go to people for campaigning, they will ask questions and I will not have answers, so I have decided that I will not campaign for the third, fourth and fifth phases. Let us tell you that Arif Naseem Khan has expressed his displeasure by writing a letter to congress President mallikarjun Kharge and has resigned from the campaign committee.
