BJP MLA Suresh Pasi has sparked a political row in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, after a video surfaced showing him stating he does not want Muslim votes and will not visit mosques. The BJP has distanced itself, calling Pasi's remarks his personal opinion and reiterating the party's inclusive ideology. Opposition parties, including Congress and Samajwadi Party, criticized the statement, alleging it is politically motivated and aims to spread hatred and divide communities for votes. Pasi has been unavailable for comment.
