On the similar time, the choice of Muslim applicants within the 3rd section seats is much less. The cause of that is that the realm of Braj, the place there don’t seem to be many Muslims, comes extra in it. On the similar time, BJP has attempted to unite non-Muslims through now not fielding Muslim applicants.

If any experiment of any celebration turns into a hit then it tries to copy it. BJP is doing the similar. The BSP feels that its personal vote financial institution is strong. In any such state of affairs, he is attempting to beef up himself through giving increasingly more tickets to Muslim applicants. As for SP, this time it’s giving tickets to Muslim applicants, however selectively. The cause of that is that she additionally needs to present a message, however does now not wish to make a lot noise. Congress has no mounted vote financial institution of its personal.
