The inclusion of MLA Nawab Malik in the treasury benches of Maharashtra assembly with the Nationalist Congress Party's Ajit Pawar faction has not gone down well with ally BJP. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has taken to task Ajit Pawar, who gatecrashed the alliance in August. Mr Malik, who was in jail after being accused of being in touch with the underworld, attended the assembly today after being released on bail. He sat with the Ajit Pawar faction, raising speculation that he has aligned with them.
