Political parties in
telangana are expected to
court Muslims and community leaders through iftar parties to gain support from the voters, particularly with parliamentary
elections just around the corner and minority votes potentially influencing the outcome in several
lok sabha seats.
Most likely, on
march 12, the month of Ramadan will start. At that same time, the
lok sabha election campaign would likely intensify. All
india Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and the incumbent
congress have strong relations with the Muslim community, and their candidates will make an effort to win over votes from the minority.
‘Dawat-e-Iftar’
Leaders from all political parties claim that candidates and
local authorities want to start "Dawat-e-Iftar" on the first day of Ramadan and continue with the program for the whole of Ramadan. A Muslim
congress representative stated that his
party has great hopes for the
lok sabha elections and that minority votes helped bring them to power.
"Iftar
events and large crowds at mosques are common during Ramadan month. He stated that our
party officials will visit the
mosque and plan iftar
events to engage the public.
Every year, during Ramadan, the leaders of the AIMIM
party host "iftar"
events in all of their constituencies and other locations. During the month of Ramadan this year, it is probable that corporations and municipal authorities will plan large-scale Iftar gatherings in residential colonies.
Hyderabad seat and old city
across reality, the BRS enjoys strong popularity across Telangana's minority-dominated areas, except the
hyderabad lok sabha seat. The leaders of BRS will not pass up the chance to fully use Ramadan and will use Iftar programs to discuss prior government-launched initiatives to engage voters.
The Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), which just fully resurrected itself during the 2023
assembly elections, intends to host Iftar activities in several
hyderabad neighborhoods. The celebration will center on underprivileged areas of
hyderabad where the impoverished typically don't enjoy a satisfying Iftar meal. It is anticipated that Oarty supporters and adherents would finance and plan the iftar event.
Additionally, it is anticipated that
local leaders from various political parties would deliver groceries to individuals. In Ramadan, the wealthy typically provide food to the underprivileged, and political parties are expected to use their networks to distribute ration packages to the needy and impoverished.
