Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Congress minority cell chief Shahnawaz Alam on Tuesday said the party is working hard to consolidate Muslim and Dalit votes in the state to touch ‘target 41’
Uttar Pradesh sends the maximum number of 80 MPs to Parliament and has 20 per cent Muslims and 21 per cent Dalits. Alam said that there are more than two hundred Maulanas in every district of the state and about 10,000 Maulanas in the entire district. The state has been contacted.
Yogi government will equip the ‘EV Use’ portal with many facilities. He said the party has urged him to improve social relations with the Dalit community
So that a bond can develop between the two communities. “We are trying to explain both the threats looming over the Constitution. We are telling Dalits and Muslims that if they vote together, they can prove to be a game changer. Overall, they have 41 per cent votes in the state,” Alam said.
Nalgonda municipal body elected new president. He said that BJP got 31 percent votes in 2014 and 37 percent votes in 2019. He said they are also distributing pamphlets as part of the campaign to raise awareness between the two communities
“Till 1989, Muslims and Dalits together voted for Congress. In those years, BJP had only 2 MPs in the entire country. If Muslims and Dalits come back and vote for Congress, BJP will again reach the situation of 1980s.
Confidence motion dropped. Alam said that 272 seats were needed to form the government. Alam said, “If we are able to get 30 seats from UP, BJP will not be able to form the government because its constituents will also leave it.”
Alam said the pamphlet also states that there are 180 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra, out of which the NDA will lose 20 seats.
