LOKSABHA ELECTION - The Muslim voters have been considered decisive in Indian politics. In terms of religious population, this community stands second in the country. This is the reason why political parties try their best to woo these minority voters. Although political situations keep changing with time, it is also true that numerical strength is very important in democracy. In such a situation, every effort is made to polarize it through various political tricks. The tenure of the 17th Lok Sabha is now ending and the 18th Lok Sabha will be constituted in June. 27 Muslim MPs were elected in the 17th Lok Sabha.
