Under the shadow of communally-laced comments by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Amroha voted today. The constituency in western Uttar Pradesh has a large population of Muslims. Two main contenders – the Bahujan Samaj Party’s Mujahid Hussain and the Congress’s Kunwar Danish Ali, the sitting MP – are Muslim. The BJP’s candidate Kanwar Singh Tanwar, an OBC Hindu, won in 2014.
