How Lone Muslim Candidate Wins UP Panchayat Election in Hindu Dominated Village!!

Recently, UP has gone through Panchayat elections during this pandemic.

And Rajanpur village in Ayodhya has now become the center of attraction and has set a perfect example of brotherhood and amity.

People always criticize that politics in India either at the Central level or local level is done on the idea of communalism.

But in this Hindu-dominated village, a Muslim sarpanch candidate Hafiz Azeem Uddin won the election with his hard work and dedication.

Interestingly, Hafiz Azeem Uddin's family is the only Muslim family in the village, and even after that, he defeated several other strong candidates.

His win has now proved that people still do vote above caste and the religious lines.

Speaking to News18 over the phone, Haji Azim Uddin said, “It is just the love and support of the village people which gave me strength to file nomination and finally win the election. There is communal harmony in the village. We are all like a big family. There are three temples in the villages and I came to know that the people of my village had prayed to God and even kept fasts for my win. It was only after I won, people had water and food and such is their affection."
