Challenges for Kishanganj MP Maulana Qasmi

By Mohammad Mudassir Alam, Bihar’s north-eastern districts of Seemanchal region witnessed a totally different pattern of voting in recently concluded Lok Sabha elections. While most parts of Bihar was engulfed into NaMo wave and voted for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the people of Kishanganj, Purnia, Katihar and Araria took a U-turn and franchised their votes in surprised manner. Congress candidate Maulana Asrarul Haque Qasmi won from Kishanganj for second consecutive terms by getting highest number of votes in Bihar. Tarique Anwar (Nationalist Congress Party), Taslimuddin (Rashtriya Janata Dal) and Santosh Kumar (Janata Dal United) won from Katihar, Araria and Purnia respectively. Although there are scores of reasons about the failure of NaMo wave in these constituencies and victories of these candidates, but in Kishanganj the critics are saying that polarisation of Muslim votes was the main reason behind Maulana’s incredible win.
