These days, politics is at its peak regarding the Waqf Bill in the country. Assembly elections are due in Bihar this year. In such a situation, this bill will also decide the condition and direction of Bihar. However, after 2014, Muslims have understood that their public opinion alone cannot change the political situation in any state. In such a situation, where the RJD is trying to help Muslims, on the other hand, JDU is in a state of do or die.
There are 47 out of 243 assembly seats in Bihar where Muslim voters decide to win and lose. It is clear which parties are in favor of the Waqf Bill and which are against it. All major parties of the India coalition are against this bill. However, some parties, including BJD and BRS, are in neutral position. Both parties are not in such a situation that the NDA government can interact with them.
The voting percentage of Muslim voters in six states was good
Assembly elections are to be held in 6 states in the next one year. Among them are Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Muslim voters are in large numbers in all states. Muslim voters have influence in 47 seats in Bihar. Nitish Kumar’s JDU is with the NDA, so he may get a shock in the election. While the RJD is against the Waqf Bill. In such a situation, it is certain that their support will increase. However, AIMIM can spoil his game. While TMC in Bengal is in favor of this bill. Bengal has 292 assembly seats. TMC has traditionally been getting Muslim votes. Muslim voters are impressive in more than 60 seats in the state.
What is the effect of Muslims in Assam-Tamil Nadu?
Assembly has 126 seats in Assam. There are 30 seats here where Muslim voters play a decisive role. The Congress and its ally AIUDF are opposing the bill. In such a situation, both parties may have more support for Muslims in elections. Kerala has 140 assembly seats. In such a situation, Muslim voters are playing a decisive role in more than 35 seats. Here the Congress and the Indian National League can get Muslim votes. However, leftist parties are also getting Muslim votes. Elections are also to be held for 234 seats in Tamil Nadu in May 2026. The population of Muslims in the state is 6 percent. In such a situation, Muslim voters play an important role for both DMK and AIADMK.
In such a situation, the Waqf Bill will play a big role in Indian politics for the next one year. This can be a huge benefit for the Congress in the upcoming state elections. However, the Congress was successful in forming the government on the strength of Muslim voters. This cannot be. The Congress can spoil the equation of opposition parties.
