India: BJP Fields 17 Candidates in Muslim-dominated Wards in Kanpur

Kanpur: As the civic elections comes near, the talk about the different political parties contestants goes all around.

The BJP has reportedly fielded its as many as 17 candidates in the Muslim dominated wards in the city for the first time.

Strangely enough all the male candidates are pinning hopes on the women voters in all these Wards.

Some said why has the BJP not thought of extending tickets to women candidates?

Issues like triple talaq, general status are said to have been raised in an influential way in the local polls.

Although the BJP is reportedly raising the issue of triple talaq in the civic polls yet the Samajwadi Party district-level leader has strongly said that the triple talaq matter would not be an important issue.

He still believes that the Muslim women are with the Samajwadi Party. It is to be seen what will really take place in the forthcoming civic body elections.
