Muslims overwhelmingly want to see Rahul Gandhi as India's PM: Read why

Op India  

The Indian General Election is likely to be held in India between April and May 2024 to elect the members of the 18th Lok Sabha. The poll results revealed that while 61% of general voters and 70% of Forward Caste voters want PM Modi to continue as the Prime Minister of the country, 52% of the Muslims in India want the Congress scion Rahul Gandhi to take up the position. Rahul Gandhi furthering anti-India stance at global level The entire Congress party has been using Muslim voters to win the elections in the country, whether the general or assembly elections. Waqf properties will be restored to the legal trustees.” In addition to that, “Congress promises to uphold the character of Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia as minority educational institutions.” Additionally, Congress’ support in Wayanad emanates from the Indian Union Muslim League which in turn is tied up with Jammat-e-Islami and Social Democratic Party of India, both accused by the National Investigation Agency of conducting arms training camps across the state under the pretence of health awareness camps. Given all these incidents, it is clearly evident why around 52% of Muslims want to see Congress’ Rahul Gandhi as India’s next Prime Minister and why only 3% of them think that PM Modi should continue to serve in the position.
