The importance of Muslim votes has increased in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The number of Muslim voters in Uttar Pradesh is 3.6 crore, which is 19.2% of the total population of the state. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP had won a total of 54 seats in Uttar Pradesh, out of which 17 seats were from Muslim dominated areas. BJP got the support of about 20 lakh Muslim voters on these seats.
BJP is making new efforts to win Muslim votes in its side. BJP’s minority front in Uttar Pradesh is launching the “Thank you Modi Bhaijaan” campaign. Under this campaign, Muslim women will go door-to-door and tell people about the achievements of the Modi government. BJP believes that Muslim women are influenced by the policies of Modi government and can support them.
This campaign of BJP can also harm the Indian alliance of opposition parties. The Indian alliance includes the Samajwadi Party, Congress and other opposition parties. These parties have made many efforts to attract Muslim votes to their side. However, this campaign of BJP may fail the efforts of these parties.
Overall, the importance of Muslim votes has increased in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. BJP is making new efforts to win Muslim votes in its side. The Indian alliance will also have to work hard to win over Muslim votes.
