LUCKNOW: Amid its efforts to reach out to Muslim voters through Pasmanda Samaj in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party in UP has claimed 'encouraging' numbers from some of the minorities-dominated booths of Gola Gokarannath constituency which had a bypoll recently.
"We always believed that a small percentage of Muslim voters was drifting towards us, but now we have concrete numbers," a U PBJP functionary told TOI. UP BJP minority wing chief Basit Ali and junior minister for minority affairs Danish Azad claimed that on several booths in Gola Gokarannath, where Aman Giri contested the bypoll after the demise of his father Arvind Giri, the BJP has performed better as compared to 2022 assembly elections.
