Akhilesh and Mayawati are upset due to increasing inclination of Pasmanda Muslims towards BJP

In view of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, the scramble for Muslim votes has started again. Although this ‘battle’ is not new, but the only difference is, earlier there used to be a fight between SP, BSP and Congress for Muslim votes, but now Bharatiya Janata Party has also jumped into this fight. His eyes are on the voters of Pasmanda community, whose population among Muslims is 80 percent, but they have not got rights or equal status in Muslim society, rather they are only tricked in the name of Islam and made to do wrong things. While these Muslims had abandoned their Hindu religion and adopted Muslim religion a long time ago. Then these people expected that their socio-economic reform would happen and injustice would stop with them, but it did not happen.

First the Congress and then the SP-BSP took a lot of votes from these people, but did not take any concrete steps to improve their social, economic and educational status. All parties used to instigate these Muslims against BJP. Now, by giving air to all these issues, BJP wants to bring the Muslim voters of Pasmanda community in its favor, so Akhilesh and Mayawati are upset because of this. Earlier Akhilesh attacked BJP and Modi and now Mayawati is the attacker. The Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party consider themselves to be the big protectors of Muslims, so they do not like that parties like Owaisi’s AIMIM should become the new merchants of Muslim votes in Uttar Pradesh, nor do they like Modi’s Muslim love. That’s why whenever Modi-Yogi talk about the interests of Muslims, both these parties start flirting. He sees his vote bank slipping away. That’s why when Modi talked about the plight of Pasmanda community in Bhopal, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and BSP supremo Mayawati immediately became aggressive against Modi.

However, the BJP high command is increasingly engaged in the exercise of pacifying the Pasmanda Muslims ahead of the Lok Sabha elections due next year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had mentioned the Uniform Civil Code while referring to Pasmanda Muslims in a program in Bhopal. He had said that some political parties are instigating Muslim brothers and sisters for their own benefit. On this statement of the Prime Minister, BSP Chief Mayawati has advised him that if he believes so, then BJP should also stop opposing the reservation given to him. Mayawati released her statement on the micro-blogging site Twitter, saying that PM Modi’s public statement at a BJP program in Bhopal that 80 percent of Muslims living in India are “Pasmanda, backward, exploited” is a reflection of that bitter ground reality. have to be accepted, which supports the need for reservation for the betterment of the lives of those Muslims. He said that now, in such a situation, apart from stopping the BJP from opposing reservation for backward Muslims, all their governments should also prove that they can fulfill the recruitment of backlog by implementing reservation honestly. In matters different from other parties.
