After the UP assembly elections results, a post went viral on social media claiming that candidates from Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) have “ensured” BJP’s win by dividing the votes. It claims that AIMIM contested “165 seats” where the BJP won with a low margin and these votes would have ensured BJP’s defeat if they had instead gone to the SP-RLD camp.<\/p>\n

The post further suggests that Asaduddin Owaisi is hands-in-glove with the BJP, hence doesn’t face any government scrutiny.<\/p>\n

In UP BJP won;<\/p>\n

7 seats by 200 votes<\/p>\n

23 seats by 500 votes<\/p>\n

49 seats by 1000 votes<\/p>\n

86 seats by 2000 votes.<\/p>\n

Total 165 seats<\/p>\n

In all these seats Owaisi has scored generously helped BJP!<\/p>\n

Now you know why he is excluded from #Pegasus<\/a> Tapping<\/p>\n

&<\/p>\n

He deserves Bharat Ratna !<\/p>\n
