Fahad Ahmad has set a target of Rs 35 lakh. He has mentioned that PAN is mandatory for those who want to donate more than Rs 20,000. So far Rs 98,612 has been received from donations by 64 people. There are 13 days left to donate before the campaign ends. The crowdfunding campaign will end on November 19.
Fahad Ahmad was earlier in the Samajwadi Party but joined Sharad Pawar’s NCP-SP before the election. The NCP-SP reposed faith in him and gave him a ticket from Anushakti Nagar. He will be going up against NCP (Ajit Pawar) candidate Sana Malik, the daughter of Nawab Malik, who is the sitting MP in the constituency. In 2009, Nawab Malik had won the election from this seat. In 2014, Tukaram Kate won the election from here on the ticket of an undivided Shiv Sena.
Even as the Maharashtra polls date approaches, Sana Malik launched a verbal war on Ahmad saying that she was proud to be known as Nawab Malik’s daughter which was “better than being an actor’s husband”.
