For the first time, Uttar Pradesh, which accounts for nearly 18 per cent of
the Muslim population, has failed to send even one Muslim MP to the Lok Sabha. This
is not a good sign in democracy that the absolute polarization and the division
of votes of one particular community has taken place. Muslims were supposed to
have done the tactical voting but the results have shown that muslims have done
the voting in the most fragmented manner which led to wastage of their votes.
The so called secular parties are also to be blamed for this as they have
fielded the muslim candidates from the muslim dominated constituencies and the
muslims failed to understand ther game plan.
The
BJP won from all the 21 seats where Muslim population is more than 10 per cent.
Major Muslim dominated seats like Saharanpur, Rampur, Sambhal, Moradabad,
Muzaffarnagar, Kairana, Baghpat, Bijnor, Amroha witnessed multiple Muslim
candidates resulting in splitting of votes in favour of the BJP. It is also a
fact the some muslim votes have gone in favour of BJP in the muslim
constituencies.
From
the trend, we can make out that even Dalits and Yadavs have voted for Modi. The
appeal of Syed Ahmed Bukhari, the Imam of Delhi’s Jama Masjid, in favour of the
Congress, did not work.
In
2009, seven Muslim candidates — Mr.Salman Khurshid, Mr.Mohammad Azharuddin and Mr.Zafar
Ali Naqvi from the Congress, and Mr.Kadir Rana, Mr.Shafiqur Rehman Barq, Smt.Kaiser
Jahan and Smt.Tabassum Hasan from the BSP won from UP.
In
2014, all Muslim candidates — 13 from SP, 19 from BSP and nine from Congress —
lost the polls. While Mr.Salman Khurshid and Mr.Naqvi lost elections, Mr.Azharuddin
did not contest from UP. BSP’s Mr.Kadir Rana, Smt.Kaiser Jahan lost the polls
while Mr.Barq lost as the SP candidate. Smt.Tabassum changed sides and her son Mr.Nahid
Hasan lost as SP candidate. In Rampur, which is the home district of SP leader Mr.Azam
Khan, party candidate Mr.Naseer Ahmed Khan, BSP’s Mr.Akbar Hussain, Congress’s
Nawab Kazim Ali Khan lost to BJP’s Dr Nepal Singh.
At Sambhal, SP’s Barq, BSP Aqeelur Rehman Khan lost to BJP’s Mr.Satyapal
Singh. Barq polled 3.55 lakh votes but lost by 5,174 votes. Another Muslim candidate
in Sambhal Aqeelur Rehman Khan got 2.62 lakh votes resulting in division of
votes.
Muslims votes were also divided at Moradabad where SP’s S T Hasan,
Congress’s Begum Noor Bano, BSP’s Haji Yaqoob Qureshi, Peace Party’s Mohammad
Irfan lost to Kunwar Sarvesh Kumar of the BJP.
In Meerut, SP’s Shahid Manzoor, BSP’s Shahid Ikhlaq and Congress’s Nagma
lost to BJP’s Rajendra Aggrawal. At Domariyaganj, Peace Party chief Mohammad
Ayub and BSP’s Mohammad Muqeem lost to BJP’s Jagdambika Pal. In Shrawasti, SP’s
Atiq Ahmed and Peace Party’s Rizwan Zaheer lost to Daddan Mishra of BJP. In
Gonda, BSP’s Akber Ahmed Dumpy and Peace Party’s Masood Alam Khan lost to BJP’s
Kirtivardhan Singh. At Amroha, SP’s Humera Akhter, BSP’s Farhat Hussain lost to
BJP’s Kunwar Tanwar Hussain. Qaumi Ekta Dal’s Mukhtar Ansari lost polls from
Ghosi and his brother Afzal Ansari lost from Ballia.
