NEW DELHI — The BJP has claimed that more than 50 residents of Shaheen Bagh have joined the party recently. They are part of over 100 people joining the party from Okhla and Nizamuddin, both Muslim-dominated areas of the capital. Shaheen Bagh is the area which saw a massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act for more than three months.

“These people were influenced by BJP’s efforts to reach out to everyone, and not use them as a vote bank. Today’s event shows that Muslims’ faith in the party has increased,” Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta was quoted as saying by the Indian Express.

Delhi BJP leader Nighat Abbass said those who joined the party included people who supported CAA as well as those who were against it.

Social activist Shahzad Ali, who was among those who joined, said, “People who were protesting here wanted that someone from the government should come here and end the confusion. Today too, I said that if there is some confusion, I will raise it on the party platform. We will sit together with them over CAA concerns.”
