This 'strategic' silence about political parties is hailed as a 'political maturity' because the Muslim clergy fears that if they openly support any non-BJP party or alliance, the Hindu votes will consolidate for the BJP automatically.
Speaking about the Samajwadi Party’s Yadav vote bank, the Maulana said, “To a large extent even the Yadavs have drifted towards other parties. In the political regard, Akhilesh Yadav is moving towards a ‘zero’ point in Uttar Pradesh. He wants to ride on the shoulders of Congress and move ahead, however, but there is no visible success in it.”
In January 2020 it was reported how Aam Aadmi Party’s Amanatullah Khan and Kejriwal’s Delhi government was systematically settling illegal Rohingya immigrants in Delhi.
Local Muslim residents in constituencies where Owaisi has fielded AIMIM candidates for upcoming Gujarat state Assembly elections, protest against him by waving black flags, chanting Modi's name.
Political observers believe that AIMIM along with Aam Aadmi Party may end up winning a few seats here and there mostly because the disgruntled Congress voter may end up voting for them.
