Samajwadi Party’s Abu Azmi made headlines in Mumbai by calling out systemic biases in voter management. During a February 28 press meet, he urged the Election Commission to handle Special Intensive Revision ethically, ensuring corporation elections remain impartial.
Drawing from personal observations, Azmi decried the disenfranchisement of thousands. ‘Names on lists, gone at gates—clear BJP favoritism by culling rival voters.’ He supported list purification but rejected weaponizing it for political gain.
On Gujarat’s marriage consent law, Azmi pondered its necessity. ‘Constitution grants marriage autonomy at 18. Rising love jihad claims fuel parental fears, but education and talks are better paths.’
Festive spirit aside, Azmi’s Holi wishes emphasized respect. ‘Colors for fun, not harassment. Uphold brotherhood during Holi and beyond.’
Reacting to Kejriwal’s exoneration, he offered measured praise. ‘Glad you’re free—now play fair. No more mudslinging; alliance when convenient, attacks later. Join forces to defeat communalism and save the Constitution.’
Ramzan advocacy persisted. ‘Southern states grant 4 PM relief for rozadars; Maharashtra must follow. My CM letters await reply.’
Crime surge drew sharp criticism. ‘Open murders erode security; Shifa’s tragic shooting in Shivajinagar underscores police shortages.’ Azmi pushed for bolstered forces, fresh stations, and rigorous crackdowns, raising them forcefully in the house.
