This decision of the BJP is being discussed especially in Jammu and Kashmir and it is being talked about as to what benefit the party will get from it. There is also talk of a setback to the politics of National Conference, PDP.
The BJP has sent Ghulam Ali Khatana, who comes from the Gurjar Bakarwal community of Muslims from Jammu and Kashmir, to the Rajya Sabha.This is the first time that a leader of the Gujjar community has been sent to the Upper House from Jammu and Kashmir.Ghulam Ali Khatana, on being sent to the Upper House, said that this shows that the BJP does justice to the last man as well.This is a victory for the poor section of the country.He said, ‘PM Narendra Modi has fulfilled his promise of upliftment of the marginalized section of the society.They have sent a common worker from the Gujjar community to the House.Not only this, on this occasion Ravindra Raina said that BJP has given voice to Gujjar and Bakarwal community.Till now Congress, NCP and PDP had only used them.
This decision of the BJP is being discussed especially in Jammu and Kashmir and it is being talked about as to what benefit the party will get from it.In fact, the politics of Muslim vote bank in Jammu and Kashmir has been done by parties like National Conference, PDP and Congress.Not only this, a section has been talking about the dissatisfaction of all Muslims with the removal of Article 370 and the reorganization of the state.But Gurjar Bakarwal and Shia community have a slightly different opinion.In such a situation, BJP wants to bring this class to its side so that it can dent the vote bank of the opposition parties.Apart from this, she is also looking for opportunities to make her inroads outside Jammu.It is believed that by sending Ghulam Ali Khatana to the Rajya Sabha, the BJP has tried to solve the same equation.
Gujjars have 13 to 15 percent population, will increase penetration among Muslims
In terms of population also, the number of Gurjar Bakarwal community is close to 13 to 15 percent in the union territory.Their large population is Muslim and some people also believe in Hinduism.In this way, BJP will be able to make its inroads among Muslims on one hand and on the other hand it will send a message to Hindu Gujjars across the country.The Gujjar community has praised this decision of the central government.The BJP is assuming that it will get its benefit in the assembly elections as well.Javed Rahi, who works for the rights of the tribal community, says that the tribal community has been ignored in Jammu and Kashmir for decades.He said that since the abrogation of Article 370, we have been hoping that this would benefit the Gujjars and Bakarwals.
