Bengaluru: Ahead of Assembly elections, BJP wants to hold Muslims' convention


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Sep 16: Ahead of the Karnataka Assembly elections, slated to be held next year, BJP is planning to hold a political convention for over 25,000 Muslims across the state.

On Friday, several leaders from the Muslim community were inducted into the BJP party. Speaking on the occasion, BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa said members from the Muslim community are turning towards BJP as they are aware of the ‘vote bank politics’, played by Congress.

"BJP’s win in Uttar Pradesh indicates the same," he said.

He also informed that Union Ministers and BJP election in-charge for Karnataka Assembly polls, Prakash Javadekar and Piyush Goyal, will hold a party meeting on Saturday in Bengaluru.

    Isn't this the same party that used to bark "We can win elections without any Muslim vote".

    Truth is most Hindus have abandoned them, thanks to U turn policies and chaos created in the country thus far.

    If BJP believes in inclusive policy, why it fails to give single tickets to Muslims in Uttar Pradesh which is the highest number of Muslim population in India?

    From decades BJP has only three Muslim personality namely late Sikandar Bakht, Shahnawaz Hussain and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi. Why party can't even find one new Muslim face to replace late Sikandar? Is Abdul Kalam is the first and last President of BJP from minority Muslims?

    Why did BJP has nominated single Muslim from Karnataka in the last assembly elections? Why did BJP has only one Muslim from the Union Cabinet out of 18 crores Muslims of India? If 'triple talaq' is so much concern for the BJP, why didn't it provide justices to those widows affected from communal riots?Why can't it provide employment for divorce Muslim women?

    So, when Modi preaches about empowering Muslims or talks about their patriotism, it certainly gives hope to India's biggest minority community. But when they are squeezed into his (or the BJP's) scheme of things, it only strengthens their doubt.

    Many believe there is a huge gap between what he says and does. And, if the prime minister is really keen to bridge the trust deficit, he has to practice what he preaches. So the Karnataka BJP is no difference to his PM Modi's thoughts.

    Both BJP and Congress is one and the same. Bother party leaders are corrupt.Siddu govt is worst corrupt ever Karnataka has seen.Bjp Congress should not get comfortable numbers.JDS and BJP should form govt jointly with common minimum programmes.Then only they can be taught a lesson.Deve Gowda and DVS should not be in the election process.

    Whoever may come but BJP should not come. We have seen BJP administration. BJP is not custodian of hindu religion. They play vote bank politics more than anyone else does. People need to think whether they want jailed CM ruling us again or they need corruption free governance.

    This is another form of Jhumla Politics. Love Jihad etc are providing diminishing returns. Not one word of Gujarat Model of Development or burning issues facing the nation and the plight of the common man under Modi Sarkar.

    Whatever BJP does, muslims will still use their brain and decide. They can hire any number of muslims but when it comes to voting, they will think whether they want communal Govt or secular Govt.

Just for your info…. Getting “More Disagree” marks doesn’t mean that you are wrong….rather in this forum….doesn’t go well with the biased people….at least for few die hard supporters of CONGiss.

    Are they short of 25.000 votes ?
    If you want votes of Muslims, then you should refrain from dividing citizens of India on communal lines.
    Stop Gautankwad
    Stop accusing Love Jihad
    Stop accusing Conversion
    Indians should be united. Not divided.

    Dont befriend with an enimy who throw you out from your house and interupt in practicing any identity of the dheenul islam. THATS WHAT QURAN SAID . BJP ideologically from chaddi rss has openly accepted that they have problem with muslims then why they expect having friendly voting fratenity. Its hypocrytes only come with bjp. If bjp declares that they have nothing to do with chaddi rss then such kind of dreams have some space.
