Narendra Modi gets mafia don's support to fight against Kejriwal

April 21, 2014

Varanasi, Apr 21: Quami Ekta Dal leader and jailed mafia don Mukhtar Ansari's elder brother Afzal Ansari has extended his support to Narendra Modi, saying the Muslims would remain safe under the BJP prime ministerial candidate in the country.

When Ansari withdrew nomination papers BJP and media accused that AAP was taking support from mafia don to defeat Modi. Pro-Modi media even telecasted some of the fake pamphlets of AAP that sought support from the mafia don.

"The country needs Modi. The Muslims would also be safe when he becomes the Prime Minister. This is the reason that the Muslims of Varanasi are toying with the idea to vote for him," the former Samajwadi Party MP told newspersons at the Babatpur airport on Saturday night.

"Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had asked Modi to follow 'Raaj Dharma' which the Gujarat CM followed after the 2002 riots in his state. But SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav couldn't teach ' Raaj Dharma' to his son and Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav. This is why we suffered the country's worst riots in Muzaffarnagar," Afzal claimed.

Mulayam is dangerous for the Muslims because his sole target is to misuse the community, the Quami Ekta Dal leader said. " But the Muslims of eastern UP in general and Varanasi, in particular, will teach the SP a lesson this election," he added.

Afzal claimed that out of 27 Lok Sabha seats on both sides of the Ghaghra river in eastern UP, the BJP would win 24 seats.

"The QED will win two seats and the Congress will get one. The remaining is going to the BJP," Afzal predicted.

Interestingly, Afzal had floated the idea of a common candidate against Modi on the Varanasi seat. He wanted the Congress, the SP and the AAP to support Mukhtar as a consensus candidate against Modi. But his idea was rejected.

Later, Mukhtar withdrew candidature from Varanasi and the party indicated its support to Arvind Kejriwal.

Fearing that the voters would be annoyed if he accepted the support of Ansari brothers, Kejriwal had last week announced that he did not require the support of such controversial leaders.

And Modi will free country of criminals!
