UP polls: BJP targets 100 Muslim votes in every booth

In an attempt to win support of minorities especially Muslims in next year's Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, the BJP is launching a campaign 'ek booth, 100 votes' (one booth, 100 votes) from next month. The campaign will be carried out in minority dominated constituencies and booths across the state.

BJP Minority Morcha national president Jamal Siddiqui said that the campaign 'ek booth, 100 votes' will be launched in September and it will run till the assembly polls next year.

"During the campaign, workers of the BJP's minority morcha will work to ensure minimum 100 votes for party candidate in minority dominated booths by reaching out to the community specially Muslims," Siddiqui said.

Through the effort the saffron party is trying to secure a minimum of 5,000 Muslims or minority votes in each assembly constituency. "Target is to get minimum five thousand new Muslim votes in each assembly seats and more votes from other minority communities," he said. The BJP Minority Morcha workers will reach out to members of the minority community and try to dispel misconceptions about the BJP and the Narendra Modi government created by the opposition parties.
