Bangalore: The 16th Legislative Assembly in Karnataka has eleven Muslim members, two more than the last Assembly.
Nine of them have been elected on Congress ticket while two from the Janata Dal Secular got elected by trouncing their Congress rivals.
The new Muslim MLAs are N. A. Harris, Shantinagar; R. Roshan Baig, Shivajinagar; B. Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan, Chamrajpet (all three constituencies are part of Bangalore city); Dr. Rafeeq Ahmed, Tumkur; Maqbool Baghvan, Bijapur; Qamarul Islam, Gulbarga North; U. T. Khader, Mangalore North; Mohiudeen Bava, Mangalore South; Firoz Nooruddin Sait, Belgaum North; Tanveer Sait, Narasimharaja (Mysore city); Md. Iqbal Ansari, Gangavathi. Except for Zameer Khan and Iqbal Ansari who were elected on Janata Dal Secular tickets, others belong to Congress.
Former Union Minister C. M. Ibrahim who had joined the Congress and was given a ticket from Bhadravati had the humiliation of being placed third. Similar was the fate of Naseer Ahmed who was placed third in Kolar city. Raheem Khan, the sitting Congress MLA from Bidar was defeated by a narrow margin from formidable Karnataka Janata Paksha candidate and Cooperative movement leader Gurupadappa Nagamarpalli. About Raheem Khan, a senior journalist working with a national daily in Bidar recently remarked in the following words while speaking at a seminar in Bangalore: “I know he is a very honest politician who did not make a single rupee through any dishonest means. He lost by 1,375 votes. Fifty per cent of the Muslim voters in the walled city of Bidar did not turn up at the voting booth. And of the rest who turned up, fifty per cent voted for his rivals who paid them Rs. 500 each. These very Muslims who sold their votes for such a cheap price, were greatly exercised when the local Deputy Commissioner, who happens to be a Muslim, was applied with a tilak on his forehead at a public function. Muslims should assess where their priorities lie and what should receive their attention.”
Veteran leader Jaffer Sharief who has staked his claim for fighting Lok Sabha election from Bangalore Central much ahead of the term of the current house is over, suffered the double whammy of seeing the defeat of his grandson C. K. Abdul Rahman Sharief from Hebbal constitutency in Bangalore and his son in law Syed Yaseen from Raichur. Rahman Sharief was a greenhorn in politics and no one had seen him working with people while Syed Yasin who had won the Raichur seat in 2008 had failed to nurture the constituency. Rahman Sharief and former ace cop Abdul Azeem together mutually divided the considerable Muslim votes in Hebbal to allow the BJP candidate to take the trophy.
Maqbool Baghvan, Dr. Rafeeq Ahmed and Mohidin Bava are first time MLAs. Bava is though educated only upto SSLC, he is into mining business and belongs to a rich family. His victory is a surprise one. Iqbal Ansari had a previous term although he could not retain his seat in 2008. Dr. Rafeeq is son in law of Mr. Shafi Ahmed, former MLA from Tumkur who had won the seat twice. Rafeeq is vice chairman of the HMS Education Society, Tumkur which was founded and is headed by his father in law Shafi Ahmed.
Roshan Baig has won for the fifth time while Harris, the riches MLA (as per declaration of assets) has won the seat for the second time although there were doubts about his retaining it. Zameer Khan has won the Chamrajpet seat four times. He defeated Congress candidate G. Mohammad Bava, another former cop, with a convincing margin. Tanveer Sait, son of legendary Congress leader Azeez Sait could save his seat with a very slender margin in a keen tussle with Social Democratic Party of India candidate Abdul Majid Khan. He cannot afford to be complacent any more in nursing the constituency which has huge number of poverty ridden and jobless Muslim voters. Miner Abdul Wahab, a big businessman who was pitted from Vijayanagar was defeated by Anand Singh, a BJP candidate. Sangh had initially decided to fight as an independent. It is rather bizarre as Congress registered exceptionally sound victories in several other seats of Bellary district.
Naseemuddin Patel, brother of former JDS President Merajuddin Patel was defeated by a margin of 24,000 votes by the Congress party candidate. Even Shiggaon, a seat with considerable Muslim voters, could not come the way of Azam Peer Shahkhadri who had represented it for one term. Bhatkal seat was lost by JDS candidate Inayatullah Shabandari to an independent Subba Vaidya by a margin of around 10,000 votes. It was a tough fight and he stands a good chance in future.
Muslim Representation remains Dismal
Uppercastes dominate
The miniscule number of Muslim MLAs represent only 4.9% while Muslim constitute 12% of the State’s population. The largest number of MLAs belong to the Vokkaliga community who represent 53 constituencies or 23% of the house. Vokkaligas are as numerous as Muslims in the state. Lingayaths who make up nearly 16% of the population and used to corner the largest number of seats hitherto have 50 of their men in the new Assembly which makes up for 22% seats of the House. It seems the drastic decline in Lingayath could be attributed to the division of community’s votes between candidates belonging to BJP and the Yeddyurappa’s KJP. Christians make up four per cent of the State’s population but could elect merely two members, same as in the last Assembly. Brahmins representing three per cent of the population have 11 MLAs. Jains representing less than half per cent of the population have three members.
It however needs to be noted that Lingayaths and Vokkaligas are concentrated in specific regions, Lingayaths in the northern Karnataka and Vokkaligas in the southern Old Mysore districts which lends them numerical advantage both in terms of claiming tickets from political parties as well as in getting elected. Muslim are demographically thinly spread, found in all constituencies but in smaller numbers.

Analysis of performances of Muslim winners and losers in Karnataka assembly elections
Submitted by admin on 8 May 2013 – 11:17pm
By Mohd. Ismail Khan, TwoCircles.net,
Bengaluru: The results of Karnataka assembly from Muslim political perspective spring up lot of surprises, 11 Muslims got elected to the assembly out of which 9 are from Indian National Congress and 2 from Janta Dal(secular). It’s an increase of three members if compared to last Assembly elections. Out of 11 elected Muslims MLA’s 7 are siting members of the previous Assembly.
The elected Muslim representatives are:
1) Feroz Nooruddin Saith of INC retained his seat Belgaum Uttar, won with a margin of 18,210 votes, and pulled almost 45,125 votes.
2) Zameer Ahmed Khan of JDS retained his seat Chamrajpet, won with a margin of 30,162 votes, pulled 56,339 votes.
3) Iqbal Ansari of JDS defeated BJP siting MLA P. Eshwarapa with a margin of 30,000 votes from Gangawati, and pulled in 60,303 votes. Interestingly Gangawati has just 15% Muslim population, this shows even Hindus in large numbers voted for Iqbal Ansari.
4) Qamar-ul-Islam of INC retained Gulbarga Uttar by defeating his closest rival Nasir Hussain Ustad of Karnataka Janta Paksha (KJP) with a margin of 20,121 votes. Islam got 50,498 votes.
5) Maqbool S. Bagawan of INC won from Bijapur city by defeating siting BJP MLA with a margin of 9,200 votes, he got total of 48,615 votes. Bijapur has 47.3% Muslim population, it slipped into BJP’s hand in 2007 due to the division of Muslim votes.
6) U.T. Khader of INC retained Mangalore constituency by defeating his nearest BJP rival with a margin of 29,111 votes, Khader polled total of 69450 votes.
7) B.A. Mohiuddin Bava of INC retained Mangalore North in a close fight with BJP candidate Krsihna J. Palamer. He defeated Palamer with a margin of just 5373 votes, and pulled 69,897 votes.
8) Tanveer Sait of INC retained his family bastion of Narsimharaja constituency in a close fight with SDPI state president Abdul Majid. Four-time MLA Tanveer defeated debutant Majid with a margin of 8,370 votes and polled 38037 votes in his end.
9) N.A. Harris of INC retained his seat ShantiNagar by defeating JDS candidate Vasu Murthy with a margin of 20,187 votes. Interestingly, ShantiNagar have just 15% Muslim population and Harris attracted total 54,342 votes.
10) Congress party veteran R. Roshan Baig retained his citadel ShivajiNagar the Muslim dominated commercial center, from where he defeated BJP’s Nirmal Surana with a margin of 20,855 votes and gathered 49,649 votes.
11) Dr. Rafeeq Ahmed of INC won Tumkur city with a tough fight with KJP. Tumkur city with a Muslim population of 26.7% was earlier under BJP control, Rafeeq won with a margin of 3,608 votes against KJP candidate Jyothi Ganesh, Rafeeq polled 43,681 votes.
Muslim candidates who finished second in this close fought race are:
1) Enayatullah Shahbandri of JDS faced defeat by 9,884 votes in coastal town of Bhatkal by Subba Vaidiya an Independent candidate, Shahbandri got total 27,435 votes.
2) K.S. Safiullah of JDS tasted a disastrous defeat by losing with a margin of 40,158 votes in Davanegere South against Shivasahankarappa of Congress, Safiullah got total 26,162 votes.
3) Perhaps grandfather political legacy didn’t work out well for Rehman Shariff, grandson of former Union Railway minister and four-time Parliamentarian C.K. Jaffer Shariff. Rehman Shariff lost Hebbal constituency against Jagdeesh Kumar of BJP with a margin of just 5136 votes. Junior Shariff got 33,026 votes.
4) From the point of view of Muslim politics this was the most interesting match of this election season. SDPI state president Abdul Majid gave trouble to Tanveer Sait in his family bastion of Narsimharaja. Four-time MLA Tanveer Sait got tough fight as debutant Abdul Majeed surprisingly pulled 29,667 votes but still lost with a margin of just 8,370 votes. SDPI’s Abdul Majeed came second, leaving behind third and fourth slot for JDS and BJP.
5) It was shocker from Raichur when sitting Congress MLA Syed Yasin, who is son in law of former union railway minister Jaffer Shariff, lost the race against Shivaraj Patil of JDS with a margin of 7,871 votes. Yasin polled 37,392 votes.
6) BJP was successful in retaining 30% Muslim populated Shiggaon constituency when Basvaraj Bomai defeated Congress candidate Khadri Syed Azempeer with a margin of 9,503 votes. Kahdri Syed finished second polling 63,504 votes.
7) Abdul Wahab of Congress party lost Vijayanagara against BJP’s Anand Singh with a heavy margin of 30,637 votes. Abdul Wahab got 39,358 votes.
8) Another shock was Bidar where sitting Congress MLA Raheem Khan lost his seat with a margin of just 2,571 votes against G. Nagamarpalli of KJP. Raheem khan scored 48,147 votes. Bidar have 30% Muslim electorates.
9) Naseemuddin Patel of JDS finished second in Homnabad against R.B. Patil of Congress party, Naseenuddin tasted defeat by a margin of 24,307 votes, and he polled 40194 votes. Homnabad have 33% Muslim electorates.
10) For Rafique Khanapuri his surname and Congress party’s tag didn’t help him well in sweeping Khanapur where he lost with a margin of 16,152 votes against A.C. Patil an Independent candidate. Rafique got overall 20,903 votes.
Here are Muslim candidates including some prominent and promising faces who finished third in this mad race of head counts:
1) K.S. Samiullah of JDS finished in third place at Jayanagar constituency getting 12,097 votes, this seat is won by BJP.
2) Businessman turned politician Naseer Ahmed should have stick to his Congress MLC post, an ambitious politician Naseer Ahmed resigned his MLC post to contest from Kolar on Congress party ticket but finished in third place getting 41,510 votes. An Independent candidate V. Prakash won the race, Kolar have 36.2% Muslim population, and it was won by BJP in 2007.
3) Mukarram Khan of JDS finished third in Sedam by getting 27,047 votes.
4) Abdul Nabi of JDS got 23,977 votes in Yadgir and finished third.
5) Former Union Aviation Minister and Congress party chief election strategist C.M. Ibrahim lost from Bhadravati constituency and got only 22,329 votes against 78,370 votes of JDS candidate Appaji. He could not even get 2nd position as it was bagged by an Independent candidate Sangameshwara with 34,271 votes. C.M. Ibrahim who was earlier in JDU was considered by many as de facto Prime minister during the reign of Deve Gowda. Ratan Tata recently accused C.M. Ibrahim for asking bribes during his tenure as aviation minister.
6) Abdul Manan was the lone Bahujan Samaj Party candidate in Karnataka who made a good performance, but still achieved third place in Bidar South by getting 16,015 votes.
7) Ismail Tamatgar of Congress party missed second position in Hubli-Dharwad west by just five hundred votes, he got 30,312 votes and finished third.
8) Bangalore police officer turned politician and former JDS MLC Abdul Azeem couldn’t stand on his tall claims, and finished third in Hebbal by getting 25,073 votes. He became the biggest factor for the loss of Congress candidate Rehman Shariff due to minority vote divide. Hebbal went to BJP.
SDPI alone got four Muslim candidates (all of them debutants) who finished third in electoral race, in all four segments ahead of JDS and KJP
9) Dr. Mehboob Shariff of SDPI got 11,196 votes and finished third at Sarvagnanagar constituency which has 40% Muslim population. Joseph George of Congress party won the seat by getting 69,673 votes.
10) Advocate Abdul Majid of SDPI got 6,113 votes but was able to finish third at Bantval constituency, leaving behind JDS and KJP.
11) M.A. Hussain SDPI candidate from Mangalore got 4,808 votes and got third slot.
12) Aboobakkar SDPI candidate from Mangalore north got 3,323 votes and finished third.
