The Congress party is likely to face a massive jolt in Delhi as the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has asked the community members to support the Aam Aadmi Party in five out of seven parliamentary constituencies.
The hardliner religious Muslim organisation of India has conducted a survey with the help of its grass-root level workers in all of the constituencies to know about the probability of strong candidates who can defeat the BJP.
“So far, the survey has been completed in five out of total seven parliamentary constituencies and we have found that the AAP candidates fit in our criteria. We have asked the community members in all these areas to support AAP,” General Secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Nusrat Ali said.
The surveys have been done in West Delhi, East Delhi, North-West, North-East and Chandni Chowk constituency. The survey is still on in New Delhi and South Delhi parliamentary constituencies.
Asked about the recent statement of the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Ahmad Bukhari asking community members to support the Congress party, Jamaat leader maintained that everyone is free to make a choice.
“It is his stand and he is free to support anyone. This is our stand and we are not only making statements. Our workers are visiting the constituencies to convey the message to everyone. Every community voter in all these constituencies has been told to support the AAP,” he added.
The organisations claims its motive behind this move is to stop what they claim communal and fascist forces.
“We don’t want to communal and fascist force to come in to power. This is our primary motive. I want to make it clear that we are not supporting any particular party, the survey has been done constituency wise and we have focused on the strong candidates who can stop such forces from coming in to power,” he added.
Jamaat has set up two criteria for selection of candidates—who can defeat the “communal forces” and who is clean and honest.
The organisation has also conducted a survey in 75 other constituencies across the country to know about the perfect candidate to support.
It is understood that Jamaat’s move came following the crushing defeat of the Congress party in last Assembly elections and the rise of AAP. The organisation feels that only the AAP candidates can defeat BJP in coming elections.
