# NCPI Muslim MPs deny joining NDA after meeting Bengal CM Adhikari 2026-08-07T07:45:07+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Two Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) MPs from Murshidabad district on Saturday met West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari but ruled out joining the BJP-led NDA. Abu Taher Khan and Khalilur Rahman told reporters they raised issues including deletion of Muslim names from electoral rolls and restrictions on mosque microphones. The meeting came a day after NCPI party leader Khalilur Rahman claimed all three Muslim NCPI MPs would extend issue-based support to the NDA. The Hindu reports that the Murshidabad MPs have indicated they will not join the NDA, unlike 17 other NCPI MPs. The three MPs, including Yusuf Pathan, have held multiple meetings with BJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, but have skipped some NDA meetings. Meanwhile, 13 rebel Trinamool Congress MLAs met Adhikari separately and raised similar issues about the minority community. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com - thehindu.com Tags: BJP, Muslim MPs, NCPI, NDA, Parliament Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/three-ncpi-muslim-mps-to-support-bjp-led-nda-leader-says/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
