The Muslim media interpretation of Asaduddin Owaisi's gains in Bihar that everyone else missed

Firstpost  

“Anyone who thinks Owaisi is going to bring in positive change for Muslims, is living in a fool’s paradise,” writers the editor of India’s oldest Muslim news website The Bihar Assembly election results have had a curious fallout on social media. “Whenever an alternative to the Congress or any of the so-called secular parties has come up, Muslims have voted for it,” points out Faizee, “And they’ve gone on to reject these parties when they’ve failed to deliver, even if they’ve put up Muslim candidates.’” This happened with the AIMIM’s two MLAs whose victory in Maharashtra in 2014 was hailed as the party’s first major breakthrough outside Hyderabad. “Thanks to Owaisi’s campaign in Malegaon, the Congress MLA lost, despite having worked a lot,” rues Malegaon resident Faizee, “I can guarantee you that if today an election is held, Mufti Ismail, who won on an AIMIM ticket, as well as Maharashtra’s second AIMIM MLA from Dhule, will lose.” In his 2014 Assembly campaign, recalls Faizee, Owaisi had promised a college in Malegaon even if his party lost. “Anyone who thinks Owaisi is going to bring in positive change for Muslims, is living in a fool’s paradise,” says Faizee, “Except Waris Pathan and Imtiaz Jaleel, AIMIM candidates are the same old faces who’ve gone through all the other parties.” For Syed Zubair Ahmad, it’s the “negative polarisation” brought about by Owaisi’s style of campaigning that’s alarming, because it ultimately results in reducing overall Muslim representation.
