Emergence of BJP has negative consequence on Muslim representation in Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Look at all the states that BJP is either ruling or one of the major party- decline in Muslim political representation is closely linked to BJP rise in those states. UP returned highest number of Muslim legislators in 2012 Assembly election when BJP was relegated to the third position winning merely 47 seats with 15% of votes polled. Rise of BJP has unfortunately meant limited political space for Muslims since even Congress in that communal environment shy away from giving tickets to Muslim candidates as it happened in Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh.
