Lucknow: Some Muslims in Gujarat vote for the BJP out of fear, Uttar Pradesh Urban Development and Minority Affairs Minister Azam Khan said Monday.
Khan's statement came a day after BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi blamed Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav for failing to check communal riots in UP.
Azam Khan, a lieutenant of Mulayam Singh, rubbished reports that some sections of the Muslim community had begun to accept the idea of Modi as India's prime minister.
