**Mumbai, Maharashtra:** With Maharashtra Assembly elections just days away, a viral video of AIMIM candidate Waris Pathan from Bhiwandi has sparked widespread attention. The video shows Pathan weeping openly, expressing fears for his safety and hinting that this might be his last election.
Pathan, contesting against BJP’s Mahesh Chaugule and Congress’ Dayanand Motiram Chorej in the Bhiwandi West constituency, claims he is being targeted by political rivals and the administration. He alleges they are trying to stop his rallies and prevent him from campaigning. In the emotional video, he states, “Don’t trust me, maybe this is my last election. I don’t know if I’ll be around in five years. My fault is that I fight for everyone.”
He further adds that while authorities might try to stop him, he believes the people of Bhiwandi and God will ensure his victory. Pathan’s controversial statements have frequently landed him in the headlines. The Bhiwandi West seat, formed after the 2008 delimitation, has seen Mahesh Chaugule win the last two elections in 2014 and 2019. This year’s election is anticipated to be a close contest. Voting is scheduled for November 20th.
