This issue will cost heavily to NDA, opposition is strong, why are voters angry in Maharashtra elections?

Maharashtra Election 2024 : Be it Mumbai, Malegaon or Marathwada of Maharashtra, efforts are being made to polarize Muslim voters in every Muslim dominated area. Except BJP-Shiv Sena (Shinde), almost every party has made efforts to reach out to Muslim voters and get their votes.

What issues are discussed

The new leader of Maratha community, Manoj Jarange Patil is also not behind. Issues like not making Muslims candidates, making inflammatory statements against Muslims and Waqf Amendment Bill are being raised loudly by political parties for polarization. A senior Muslim leader says that BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh have formed the government without Muslims at the Centre. Now they only want Muslim free politics in India.

What do Muslim leaders say…

Referring to Mahayuti (NDA) and Mahavikas Aghadi (INDIA), he said that there are six major parties in Maharashtra. But no party fielded a Muslim candidate in the Lok Sabha elections. However, the Muslim community largely supported the opposition India in the Lok Sabha elections. Now we hope that Mahavikas Aghadi will field a large number of Muslim candidates in the assembly elections.

Issue of Muslim candidates in discussion

Shiv Sena (UBT) has not given tickets to Muslim candidates, but many of its candidates are contesting from Muslim dominated seats. He hopes that like in the Lok Sabha elections, this time too Muslim voters will stand with him and give him victory. Then the big Muslim leader says that like the Lok Sabha elections, this time too we are appealing to vote for the Muslim candidate who wins against the candidates of BJP or Mahayutiya.

Which issues are big for Muslims?

Senior Muslim leaders of Maharashtra say that hate speeches against the Muslim community have increased in the last few years. Blasphemy law should be made to stop such speeches. During this, he also expressed his displeasure over the amendment in the Waqf Bill. He said that through this bill the central government wants to grab the land of Muslims. All these issues are going to weigh heavily on NDA. The opposition directly benefits from this.
