UTTAR PRADESH :

But for the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) , and at a few places other parties, the number of Muslims in the Uttar Pradesh assembly could have been doubled.

Uttar Pradesh Election 2022: 

The newly elected Uttar Pradesh Assembly will have 33 Muslims in the house of 403, as per the final result of the 2022 UP Polls announced by the Election Commission of India Thursday.

A total of 24 Muslims had won the election in 2017. It was the second lowest number in the history of Uttar Pradesh Assembly and down by 45 if compared with the strength of Muslims in the 2012 Assembly .

This time around Muslims have improved their representation in the Uttar Pradesh by 08. But for the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) , and at few places other parties, the number of Muslims in the Uttar Pradesh assembly could have been doubled.

This is because as many as 31 Muslims who contested the 2022 UP Elections lost their seat by a whisker, and by the margin of votes which is far less than the votes polled by their rivals in the BSP.

During the electioneering process, it was alleged that Mayawati’s BSP was fielding candidates and giving tickets in such a way that could prove damaging for Samajwadi Party (SP) candidates – especially the Muslims in the race. A quick analysis of the 2022 UP Election result proves this was correct.

It was also alleged that Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM is in the electoral race to divide Muslim votes. If it was really a design then the election result analysis proved otherwise.

The 2022 UP election results also showed that Muslims in the state rejected Team Owaisi. Not only that Guddu Jamali, the one man who was sure to win the 2022 elections, AIMIM Uttar Pradesh President Shaukat Ali  had to surrender his deposit.
