Lucknow: With an eye on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the ruling BJP is planning to hold conferences in various parliamentary constituencies of western Uttar Pradesh

starting from Muzffarnagar next month to woo Muslim communities having an influence in the region.

The conferences on the theme “Sneh Milan: Ek Desh, Ek DNA Sammelan” will try to drive home the point that everyone’s DNA is the same and together they can take the country forward. “Muslim Jat, Muslim Rajput, Muslim Gurjar and Muslim Tyagi communities have a sizeable number of voters in western Uttar Pradesh.

In almost every Lok Sabha constituency of Western Uttar Pradesh, their population is on an average 2.5 lakh,” Uttar Pradesh BJP Minority Morcha president Kunwar

Basit Ali said.

“The party will try to connect with these voters by organising ‘Sneh Milan: Ek Desh, Ek DNA Sammelan’ in various West Uttar Pradesh districts,” he said, adding these conferences would start after Eid next month and the first convention will be held in Muzaffarnagar.

He said Hindu leaders of Jat, Rajput, Gurjar and Tyagi communities would be on stage in these conferences. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, State BJP President Bhupendra Chaudhary, Muzaffarnagar MP Sanjeev Balyan and

State Minister Somendra Tomar will be prominently involved, he said.
