BJP accuses MIM of exploiting Muslims
Hyderabad, Feb 27 (INN): BJP State President G Kishan Reddy has accused the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen of resorting to the politics of fear to get Muslim votes and win seats.
Addressing the BJP Minority Morcha meeting with Muslim intellectuals on "The Turning Point of Telangana Muslims" here on Thursday, Kishan Reddy said that the MIM brought no development in the Old City.
Instead, it exploited the common Muslims through communal politics. He said that the MIM did not do even one per cent of what BJP did for the protection of Wakf properties. He said that the MIM was not serious about protection and development of Wakf properties in the State.
Kishan Reddy also accused the Congress of using Muslims as a vote bank. He said that BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has a clear vision for educational, socio-economic development of Muslims in the country.
He said that Gujarati Muslims have highest per capita purchasing power. However, the Congress party was trying to get Muslims votes by branding Modi and BJP as anti-Muslim.
The BJP leader claimed that the present network of minorities' educational institutions was due to the policies of BJP-led NDA Government. Further, he reminded that it was Atal Bihari Vajpayee who simplified the passport procedure which helped thousands of Muslims in taking up jobs in Gulf countries.
BJP senior leaders including N Indrasena Reddy, Baddam Bal Reddy, Dr K Lakshman, Mallareddy, Minority Morcha National President Rashid Ansari, Vice-Presidents Irfan Ahmed and FS Layaq Ali and State Morcha president Syed Hanif Ali were also addressed the meeting.
