New Delhi, April 27, 2024: In a major development, BJP today dropped two time MP Poonam Mahajan, daughter of late leader Pramod Mahajan from the Mumbai North Central Parliamentary Constituency.
In an equally important development, the saffron party has picked up 26/11 prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam as the party candidate from the Mumbai North Central Parliamentary seat replacing Poonam Mahajan.
In the murder case of Pramod Mahajan, who was shot dead by his brother Pravin in April 2006 following a dispute, Nikam was also the prosecutor.
A former president of the BJP’s youth wing, Poonam Mahajan was elected from the Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat twice, in 2014 and 2019.
Nikam will contest against Congress city unit President and Dharavi MLA Varsha Gaikwad from the Mumbai North Central.
In the fifth phase Mumbai will go for voting on May 20.
