BSP has announced its candidates for four Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh. These include Anish Ahmed Khan from Pilibhit, Irfan Saifi from Moradabad, Akil Ahmed Patta from Kannauj and Dr. Mujahid Hussain from Amroha. BSP has given tickets to Muslim candidates on these four seats. BSP Chief Mayawati is believed to have a special strategy behind fielding Muslim candidates on these four seats. BSP has its eyes on Muslim voters. BSP is trying to unite Muslim voters and bring them to its fold.

In the last Lok Sabha elections, SP and BSP had contested together to garner Muslim votes. In this, BSP benefited while SP suffered loss. BSP had won 10 seats in UP while SP could win only five seats. Let us tell you that the dates of Lok Sabha elections will be announced in the next two to three days. BJP has released the first list of 195 candidates. At the same time, Congress has also released the first list of 39 candidates. Both the parties may also release their second lists soon.

SP may suffer loss
BSP may not get any benefit from Mayawati giving ticket to Muslim candidate but it can definitely cause loss to SP. If we look at the last by-election of Azamgarh Lok Sabha seat, SP candidate Dharmendra Yadav had to face defeat only because BSP’s Muslim candidate Guddu Jamali had got the ticket in front of him. BJP candidate had won in this by-election. SP’s MY formula fails to some extent due to BSP fielding a Muslim candidate. Muslim candidates of BSP become a big obstacle for the victory of SP.

Mayawati’s focus on Muslims
Mayawati has been focusing on Muslims as per her strategy. She constantly tries to explain that BJP can be defeated if Dalits and Muslims come together. If we talk about the last assembly elections, only one BSP candidate had won. In the 2022 assembly elections, Umashankar Singh had won from Rasra seat of Ballia district. BSP had to face defeat on all other assembly seats. Now Mayawati has once again placed her bet on Muslim faces in this Lok Sabha election. It will be interesting to see how successful Mayawati’s strategy is in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections of 2024.
