25000 Muslim youths to join the BJP next week
- by Webdesk
- 21 Dec 2016
With just a couple of months to go for the polls to the cash rich civic body, all attempts on caste based politics are on. The Bharatiya Janata Party is making all attempts to woo Mumbai’s Muslims to enhance its tally in the civic body. Nearly 25,000 Muslim youths are likely to join the BJP next week, claims the party.
According to BJP leaders, these Muslim youths are from areas such as Malvani, Bandra (W) and Bandra (E), Mohammed Ali Road, Madanpura, Kurla, Govandi and other areas who will join the party at a function to be organised next week. The function is likely to be organised in South Mumbai.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said he wanted to see a computer in one hand and Quran in other hand of the Muslim youths, which is why they are attracted to BJP. The community is seeing the work in last two to three years by the BJP government,” said Haider Azam, vice-president of the BJP’s Mumbai unit.
Talking about the 25,000 Muslim youths, he said, “We have approached a couple of NGOs working in the social sector in the city while a few organisations have reached out to us expressing willingness to join the party.”
Azam said Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and senior BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain would attend the function.
“All other parties have used the community for their own benefits and have deserted them later. The BJP is only working towards the inclusive development of the community,” he said.
