Nationalist Congress Party Minister Nawab Malik on Thursday dismissed the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party's charges that he was waging a "solitary battle" without anybody from the Maha Vikas Aghadi government backing him.  "I am not alone... Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, NCP President Sharad Pawar, all ministers, the government and the party are standing solidly behind me," Malik told media persons.  This assertion came a day after the state cabinet presided over by Thackeray lauded Malik's six-week-long ongoing war in which he has exposed alleged acts of the Narcotics Control Bureau Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, the BJP leaders and related issues.  "I may be fighting alone...But I have the full backing and blessings of all the top leaders that gives me the strength... I have taken up this responsibility to cleanse up certain things and will continue," Malik declared.
