Summary BJP leader told that it was only by chance that there was no Muslim population in the village.
VARANASI (Web Desk) - The village officially adopted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday does not have a single Muslim inhabitant in it.
Jayapur is dominated by Kurmis, a traditional votebank of Apna Dal which was the only ally of the BJP in UP during the Lok Sabha elections. In fact, Modi had Apna Dal MP Anupriya and her mother Krishna Patel, who now are at loggerheads, at his side when he addressed an election rally in Varanasi s Rohaniya assembly segment, from where Anupriya eventually won.
Modi said that he has occupied this village because five people had been killed in a fire following electrocution and he felt that if he made a connect with the village during its sad times, the relationship would last long.
Media is forwarding rubbish and non sense stuff that the village has been adopted because of no Muslim population, he added.
Meanwhile, a BJP leader elaborated that it was not as if MPs would select only one village as one village has get developed by the year 2016 and two others by 2019.
