Only party which has done something for Muslims unlike other parties who used them as votebank.
Only party to talk about Muslim condition.
Only party to take Hinduwadis head-on.
Only party who knows how to speak to Hinduwadis in their own language.
Only Muslim party/politicians who aren't sell-outs and don't get tamed by Hindu politicians.

Aam Aadmi Party Ki Najayaz Aulad Hein. Baap Ke Pate Nahi. Dekhein Aulad Kahan Tak Jaati Hein.

Nice. Now that this constituency is out of Congress's hold, Congress mukt Bharat can be realized more easily. This facade of a certain community being born secular needs to get exposed. Good Job MIM. In the next election, they are bound to loose both seats though.

Muslims should be king makers in Indian politics. With a 15-25% pop. they should be more assertive. The oppression they undergo in India as a "minority" may be due to lack of both religious and secular education among them. If muslims in India understand their religion very well, they can dictate terms in India. Why didn't strong Islamic parties emerged in India like that in the rest of the muslim world? MIM and other like minded parties including JeI Hind should cooperate among themselves and try to get into both state and national assemblies of India. They should become more like AKP or ennahda and take muslims away from Hindutva communal congress. Its not very far fetched that an united muslims front can form gov in many Indian states not just occupied Kashmir or at the very least hold great sway in parliaments of Kerela, WB and UP.

Also muslim organization should promote migration of muslims from oppressive hindutva states where they r insignificant in no. to more tolerant state where there is a large enough muslim pop. They should concentrate in few states and become stronger there rather than being scattered.

They should also actively get involved in the private sector in media and business so that in the long term they can set the policy in India. Muslims in India are in no way a minority in the traditional sense of the word.

 

[Kompromat]

Bhai, your mod team bans for no reason but Hinduwadis are allowed to post. What kind of policy is this?

We can discuss that problem.

 

[Shariqattari]

Hinduwadis can no longer oppress Indian Muslims. After so many years we have an honest party which cares for Muslim interest. Indian media gets mad when Muslim start supporting and voting for a great leader. But keeps quiet when Hinduwadis vote for their leader.

Alhamdulillah! MIM will be 2nd largest party in India after 15-20 years. We shall rule once again.

What a Win for Muslim Party in Maharashtra Means

"A win in the Maharashtra elections for a former journalist who ran for a Muslim party on Sunday has reinforced the perception that the Congress party is losing one of its most-faithful vote banks and indicated that politics in India could become more divided along religious lines.

Imtiaz Jaleel, a former NDTV journalist based in Pune, took one of the two seats won by the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen in the state by making inroads in the Muslim community, which ditched its traditional allegiance to the center-left Congress party.

“Muslims in India have been hearing the same refrain for Congress for a long time: ‘vote for us, or the Bharatiya Janata Party will get into power’,” Mr. Jaleel said in an interview. “That menace sounds hollow now.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governing BJP party won the most seats in the state shy of a majority. But, AIMIM, a party calling on Muslims to cast their votes on the basis of religious belief also had resonance and could play an important role in one of India’s largest, richest and most populous state.

The AIMIM, also known as MIM, is led by brothers Akbaruddin and , and has traditionally rallied voters in the neighboring Andhra Pradesh by pitting itself as the defender of Muslim voters from right-wing Hindu parties. In Maharashtra it gathered a sizable share of the vote in about half of the 23 seats it contested.

The surprise victories marked a strong debut for the party in that state, but more significantly it further weakened Congress’ dominance in Maharashtra where it has relied heavily on the votes of the Muslim minority. Since Maharashtra was created in 1960, Congress has been in power or in a ruling alliance apart from after elections in 1978 and again in 1995.

To be sure, the AIMIM garnered only 0.9% of the popular vote. Still, it came second in many places, including Parbhani and Aurangabad East, and third in several urban districts, including Versova, Kurla and Bandra East. Besides the Aurangabad Central seat won by Mr. Jaleel, the party won in Mumbai southern Byculla district.

“Muslim disaffection with Congress has been going on for fifteen years: the Maharashtra election is showing us the end game,” said Subir Sinha, a senior lecturer in Indian politics at the School of Oriental and Asian Studies in London. “Congress has not delivered on promises they made to their Muslim electorate, and they’re getting their payback.”

Mr. Sinha noted that events that have marked India’s Muslim community – including the start of the process that eventually led to the razing of the Babri Masjid mosque in 1992, or the failure by an enquiry commission to single out those responsible for a 2002 Muslim pogrom in Gujarat – happened when Congress was in power in New Delhi.

Both events have helped to distance the Muslim community from the center-left party, and the Maharashtra election results are a good indicator of what may happen at a national level, Mr. Sinha said.

Mr. Jaleel said his victory in his native village of Aurangabad is a natural consequence of how Indian politics are evolving.

“All communities in India have their own party to represent them, except for the Muslims,” said Mr. Jaleel. “That’s changing.”

The trend may have wider implications for India, the world’s largest democracy.

As voters gradually shifted to parties advancing the interest of particular sections of the population – including the BJP, which is committed to Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism – India’s Muslim community has been deprived of adequate representation in the national parliament.

After May’s national vote, Muslim candidates won only 22 of the 543 seats up for grabs in the Lok Sabha, or 4.2% of the total — the lowest percentage since India’s independence.

India’s Muslim population accounts for about 13% of the total. That’s 150 million Muslims, making India home to the third-largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan.

To silence opponents claiming that its election victory in May would jeopardize India’s delicate balance between the majority Hindu population and religious minorities, BJP leaders repeatedly claimed their party was secular.

But analysts note that after the Maharashtra elections those pleas sound less substantial.

“What seems to be happening is a consolidation of the Muslim vote. AIMIM candidates have been able to persuade voters that Hindus are voting for the BJP,” said Harsh Pant, who teaches international relations at King’s College London. “It poses a problem for the BJP’s claim that they’re taking votes from across the spectrum.”

Muslim population in India is 14% only not "15-25%" .They can be king makers in certain area only not all.
