BJP to woo Muslims with 'ekta sammelans'

In an attempt to pocket Muslim votes, the Bharatiya Janata Party minority cell will organise Sarva Samaj Ekta Sammelan (all community unity gathering) across the state. The party has already conducted the sammelan at three places in Gujarat.

The gatherings are aimed at erasing the saffron party's image which deteriorated after the 2002 communal riots. These sammelans are in addition to chief minister Narendra Modi's attempt to woo Muslims.

The saffron party has already held such gatherings at three places including Jambusar in Bharuch, and Jamnagar and Pethapur in Gandhinagar district. BJP leaders, including party's minority cell president, are telling Muslim community members how the Congress has done nothing for them while the community prospered during Modi's 10-year reign.

"We have already held three gatherings and we will organise more in different parts of the state ahead of the assembly polls," Sufi Saint Mahebub Ali told DNA. He said, "The Congress has only appeased Muslims for votes but done nothing for them. According to Sachar Committee report, the condition of Muslims in Congress-ruled states is very bad."

He further said, "We are reaching out to Muslims with the slogan 'Justice for all, Appeasement of none'. The Congress misleads Muslims. They don't choose genuine Muslim leaders as a result of which the community has remained poor and marginalised only."

Meanwhile, chief minister Modi had expressly sought Muslim votes during the minority cell meet held in Gandhinagar on Wednesday.

To gain Muslim sympathy, he has also appointed Muslim leaders as heads of various boards and corporation. The Modi government appointed Imtiyazkhan Pathan as chairman and Kadar Salot as the vice-chairman of Minority Finance and Development Corporation (MFDC).

Former cop AI Saiyad was also appointed as the chairman of Haj Committee while Mahebub Ali has been made chairman of the Waqf board. Earlier, IAS officers and other government officials headed all boards and corporations.
