US Edition'Won't Tolerate a Khan in Mumbai': BJP Leader's Warning After Zohran Mamdani's New York Victory
Mumbai BJP chief Ameet Satam warns against divisive religious politics ahead of local polls, linking it to Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral win and emphasizing protection of social harmony.
- On November 5, 2025, Ameet Satam, Mumbai BJP chief and Andheri West MLA, posted on X warning that a `Khan` should not be imposed as Mumbai’s mayor after Zohran Mamdani’s New York win.
- Framing his remarks as protective of Mumbai, Satam said Mamdani's win signals politics that could replicate in Mumbai and cited Maha Vikas Aghadi's 'vote jihad' and changing city trends.
- Mamdani campaigned on promises like free childcare, rent freezes, and free bus services that appealed to working-class voters, defeating Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
- Opponents in Mumbai immediately criticised Satam, saying under his leadership the BJP risks being wiped out and his post drew controversy by likening it to Maha Vikas Aghadi's tactics, Shiv Sena leader Dubey said.
- Mamdani's victory has reverberated in Mumbai, where Zohran Mamdani's historic election sparks political ripples as Mumbai civic polls approach, highlighting how overseas outcomes shape communal-harmony debates and local strategies.
