Now, the ample focus falls on AIMIM in the political domain. If we take into account a particular survey trying to find out the party direction in States like Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, it has been informed that this political party is bringing damage to all other parties which locate promising fights. In the publicised survey, it has been told if AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi contests polls in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, all three political parties viz., AAP, Congress and BJP respectively will face straight consequences.
The trillion-dollar question is: Does Owaisi's party influence the Muslim voters of these two different states? How difficult he and his political party experience the yet-to-gain tough political ground may come as a very substantial question for every political pundit.
In Himachal Pradesh, polling will be held in a single phase on November 12. The counting of votes will take place on December 8. It seems stunning that politics revolves around Owaisi. Approved of we have been finding ourselves in the first half of an eleven month, after ten long months of living history. It felt like finishing with great speed. Also, it does seem like a lifetime ago, not least because of the phase of the shift we have all noticed in our democratic discomfort.
The Election Commission had indicated that the counting of votes for Gujarat would also take place on December 8, keeping the date of counting for Himachal Pradesh almost a month after the polling.
In the year 2017 too, elections were announced on different dates in both states, but the counting of votes took place simultaneously on December 18.
By the survey 50 per cent of people believe that Congress will suffer the most. However, the mood of people changes at the time of voting. Various factors help the voters to reach a firm decision. As regards the remaining 18 per cent of voters, the survey hints at the Aam Aadmi Party going to suffer. While the remaining 30 per cent of people believe that BJP will also suffer due to Owaisi's presence in the polls. This specific survey shows prime concern for the Congress party but this party expects better prospects in both states, as political gazers come to conclude.
Aam Aadmi Party, Congress and BJP are campaigning prominently in Gujarat, but Owaisi's entry has heated the election atmosphere. The recent day incident in which as many as 136 or more people have lost their precious lives would exactly make an unfavourable impact. Owaisi's party AIMIM has fielded its state chief Sabir Kabliwala, a former Congress MLA, from Jamalpur-Khadia in Ahmedabad, its Dalit face Kaushika Parmar from Danilimda (SC) seat, Wasim Qureshi from Surat-East, Shahnawazkhan Pathan from Bapunagar in Ahmedabad and Abdul Bashir Shaikh from Limbayat in Surat.
The quite surprising revelation comes in the survey about Gujarat polls. 31 per cent of the people in Gujarat have answered 'yes', while 69 per cent of the people have answered 'no'. Therefore it turns out that the maximum number of people believe that Owaisi has no influence among Muslim voters in the forthcoming Gujarat Assembly polls.
