Giriraj sparks rows with remarks on Muslims, says ‘their votes not required’
The New Indian Express Chennai
|October 20, 2025
UNION minister and BJP firebrand leader Giriraj Singh has once again courted controversy by terming the minority community ‘namak haraams’ (ungrateful) and contended that he does not need their votes to win the election.
Addressing a rally in Bihar’s Arwal district, Giriraj recalled his conversation with a Muslim “‘Maulvi’ who admitted to be benefiting from the Centre’s schemes. “When I asked him whether he had voted for me, he replied in the affirmative but when I asked him to swear on Kudha (God), he refused. Muslims take benefits of all Central schemes but don’t vote for us. Such people are called ‘namak haraam’,” he asserted.
