A major political controversy has erupted after BJP MLA Suresh Pasi made a provocative statement claiming he does not need Muslim votes. Pasi, a two-time legislator from the Jagdishpur assembly constituency in Amethi, said on camera that he has never visited a mosque and does not meet Muslims even during difficult times. The video of his remarks has gone viral on social media, drawing sharp reactions across political circles. Critics are questioning whether an MLA who openly dismisses a section of the electorate can fairly represent and work for the interests of all communities in his constituency. The statement has intensified debates on inclusive politics and responsibility of elected representatives. No official clarification has yet been issued by the MLA or the party.
