In the recently held Maharashtra Assembly election the number of Muslim MLAs got reduced from 11 to 9. There were 3 Muslim Ministers in the previous cabinet. Now the situation is that although there are 9 Muslim Legislators but there is no single Muslim Minister in Maharashtra Cabinet. BJP had given ticket to one Muslim candidate in Maharashtra but unfortunately he could not be elected. In the same way two Muslims were given BJP tickets in Haryana but none of them could get elected. In Andhra Pradesh the number of Muslim MLAs got reduced to half and there is no Muslim Minister in A.P. State. In the remaining 8 states where BJP formed govt., there is no single Muslim Minister, although there are 52 Ministers in these state but there is no single Muslim Minister. If the total number of Muslim Ministers in the entire country is calculated, it works out to only 16% in which majority of the ministers belong to Muslim community. In Kerala, Asam and UP there are Muslim Ministers. In BJP led State Governments, the total number of MLAs is 300.
