“To divide the Muslim votes, the BJP is spending crores of rupees to bring in a party from Hyderabad. The plan is that BJP will eat into Hindu votes, and this Hyderabad party will eat into Muslim votes”, said Mamata Banerjee while addressing a party rally.  “In recent Bihar elections, they did the same thing. This party is a B-team of the BJP,” Banerjee said.

The state has a Muslim population of 30%. And the Muslim votes are a deciding factor in around 100 to 110 assembly seats in the state. TMC is mostly benefitted by the Muslim votes and the entry AIMIM will  certainly reduce the chance of ruling TMC in the state.
