The Lok Sabha elections are just a few days away. One of the major players which is a factor in deciding the election results is the minority vote bank. In such conditions where it is almost clear that the Muslim candidate will win, India TV Digital has done a forensic analysis and has found that there are only six such constituencies where only Muslim candidates have won. These include West Bengal's Murshidabad, Assam's Dhubri, Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla, Srinagar, Kerala's Malappuram and union territory Lakshadweep. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Murshidabad is scheduled to go to polls on May 7 (Phase 3), Dhubri on May 7 (Phase 3), Baramulla on May 20 (Phase 5), Srinagar May 13 (Phase 4), Malappuram on April 26 (Phase 2), Lakshadweep on April 19 (Phase 1) respectively.
