Former state minister and Samajwadi Party MLA Mehboob Ali predicts that growing Muslim population will lead to BJP's exit from power in Uttar Pradesh by the 2027 Assembly polls. During a party event, Ali drew a parallel between the BJP and the Mughal empire, calling the BJP 'anti-Constitution and anti-reservation.'

Former state minister and Samajwadi Party MLA Mehboob Ali has claimed that the increasing Muslim population will result in the BJP losing power in Uttar Pradesh in the 2027 Assembly elections.

The 72-year-old sixth-term MLA from Amroha made these remarks during a party event on Sunday, with clips of his speech widely shared on social media.

Ali asserted that demographic changes would benefit the Samajwadi Party, stating, ''The Muslim population has grown to a point where by 2027, the BJP will have to go, and the Samajwadi Party will come to power.'' He compared the BJP to the Mughal empire, further describing the BJP as ''anti-Constitution and anti-reservation.''
