Muslims in fray for the UP 2017 Elections

A split in Muslim votes may give BJP an edge over other parties. It is more the merrier for the BJP as whenever the saffron party is challenged by a number of Muslim rivals, a split in votes on communal lines helps turn the tide for its candidates in Uttar Pradesh. Going by the past record, BJP was the major beneficiary of division of minority votes and polarisation during polls.

While BSP has given ticket to maximum Muslims, SP-Congress are claiming to be the real “sympathiser” of the community to seek their votes. Where as BJP has given no tickets to Muslims.

Besides, AIMIM has also fielded its candidates at a few seats. In 2012 polls, there were at least 26 seats where Muslim candidates lost due to division of votes due to fight between them.
