Delhi election 2025: In the Delhi assembly elections, everyone’s eyes are also on Mustafabad seat as AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has fielded the Delhi riots accused Tahir Hussain in the election arena. The Congress has given tickets to Ali Mehdi and Aam Aadmi Party to Adil Ahmed Khan on this seat with 40 percent Muslim voters.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded the current MLA of Karawal Nagar Mohan Singh Bisht in this assembly constituency. Owaisi has put full force for Tahir Hussain. With the election of three strong Muslim candidates in the region, the election of Muslim votes is expected, which can directly benefit BJP candidate Bisht. In such a situation, it is believed that Owaisi has created difficulties for both Congress and AAP parties here.

Owaisi handled the front for Tahir
Tahir Hussain, accused of Delhi riots and candidate of Owaisi, has been allowed to campaign on custody parole. Tahir Hussain has been given a six -day custody parole by the Supreme Court. They are busy campaigning under the watch of Delhi Police. Under the guard of about a dozen policemen, Tahir Hussain is roaming the street and appealing to give a chance as an MLA. He is appealing behind him to vote on the kite election mark with the slogans of ‘Sher Aya, Sher Aa’.
To strengthen the electoral possibilities of Tahir Hussain, Owaisi himself has taken a front and he is constantly busy campaigning. They are explaining to the voters of the region that in the case of Tahir Hussain, justice will be done by the court, but you have to justice with them through your vote. If Tahir Hussain does not win, then the people of the area will not be able to be justice. Owaisi is considered a major leader of the Muslim community and his appeal is likely to be affected.

BJP, Congress and AAP also filled their strength
The Mustafabad region was earlier part of the Karawal Nagar assembly seat but after the delimitation of 2008 it was made a separate assembly constituency. During the 2020 assembly elections, Haji Yunus of Aam Aadmi Party won this seat, but this time the party has changed the ticket and placed bets on Adil Ahmed Khan.
The Congress has fielded Ali Mehdi, son of former MLA Hasan Mehdi, to get the support of Muslim voters of the region. The BJP has also made difficulties for the Congress, AAP and Owaisi by fielding strong candidates in this area. The BJP has given ticket to the current MLA of Karawal Nagar Mohan Singh Bisht. Bisht is trying to win on the strength of Hindu voters among the three Muslim candidates.
Fear of sharing in Muslim votes
A remarkable thing about Mustafabad assembly constituency is that there are about 40 percent Muslims and 60 percent Hindu voters in the region. There is a possibility of sharing in Muslim votes due to the elections of three strong Muslim candidates contesting. Due to the entry of Tahir Hussain in the match, the difficulties of both Congress and AAP parties have increased.
Political experts believe that the three Muslim candidates are very strongly in the fray and BJP candidate Bisht can benefit from the sharing of Muslim votes. The BJP has also kept an eye on this equation and an attempt is being made to get a mobilization of Hindu votes.

Tahir’s attack on Congress and AAP
Tahir Hussain reacts sharply when the vote is called votes in the area. He says that due to raising the voice of the underprivileged, Dalits, backward and Muslims, they are being charged with votes. If our party is being called a vote cut, then why did the Congress and AAP not try to stop the vote sharing by compromising.
He said that the people of the region have understood that we are being misled by both AAP and Congress parties and in such a situation, I will get full support of the voters of the region.
What is history of Mustafabad seat
If we look at the history of Mustafabad assembly seat, the Congress won the 2008 and 2013 assembly elections here. During the 2015 assembly elections, the BJP showed its strength in this seat while the AAP candidate won in the 2020 election. However, this time AAP has bet on Adil Ahmed Khan, cutting the ticket of the current MLA. Along with the three major parties in Mastfabad assembly constituency, Owaisi’s party has also put full force and that is why the political equation of this region is looking different from other areas.
Political experts say that it will be seen in this constituency to see where the inclination of Muslim voters is visible. The BJP has hoped for the sharing of Muslim votes. The party believes that if this happens, the BJP can get a big victory in this area due to the mobilization of Hindu opinions.
