Masood’s ouster from BSP may trigger fight for Muslim votes in west UP

Hindustan Times  

LUCKNOW The expulsion of former MLA Imran Masood from the Bahujan Samaj Party is likely to trigger a fight for Muslim votes in western Uttar Pradesh in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. His uncle Rasheed Masood had been victorious from Saharanpur Lok Sabha seat for five terms - on the Janata Party ticket in 1977/1980, Janata Dal ticket in 1989/1991 and the Samajwadi Party ticket in 2004. In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the BSP-SP alliance had bagged Saharanpur, Amroha, Bijnore, Rampur and Sambhal Lok Sabha seats. The clout of Imran and his family among the Muslim community may help the INDIA alliance give a tough fight to the NDA led by BJP, and the BSP in the west UP, said SK Singh, a political observer.
