In Indian politics, Muslim votes have always been seen as essential. This town is the second-most religiously diverse in the nation. Political parties make every effort to win over these minority votes because of this. It’s true that political circumstances change with time, but that in democracies, size matters a great deal. Under such circumstances, every attempt is made to use a variety of political ploys to polarise it.
