Maharashtra Minister and BJP leader Ashish Shelar on Thursday stated that his party will not form any alliance with the NCP under Nawab Malik's leadership for the upcoming civic polls and will not endorse the former minister, who is facing charges in a money laundering case.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, Shelar said, "We cannot endorse Nawab Malik, and this was our stand in the assembly elections last year. We have stuck to it now, and we will have the same stand in the future as well. It is not about Malik as a person, but the serious charges he is facing. We cannot compromise on our principles when it comes to the serious allegations of his alleged link with Haseena Parkar."
