NCP Spokesperson Challenges BJP on Alliance, Accuses it of Hypocrisy
A spokesperson from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is being hypocritical.
The BJP said they won't work with the NCP in Mumbai's upcoming elections because one of their leaders, Nawab Malik, is accused of a serious crime.
But the NCP spokesperson said the BJP is still working with the NCP in the state government, so they shouldn't complain about the NCP in Mumbai's elections.
