Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Sunday while addressing a meeting of โPasmanda Muslimsโ organized by BJP Minority Morcha referred to the Muslim community (Minority) as โTej Pattaโ (Bay leaf) and indicted all the opposition parties of using them as a โvote bankโ.
โCongress, Samajwadi, and other parties misled you (Muslims) and used you as a vote bank. PM Modi has given you your rights. Youโve been given free houses, LPG cylinders, and benefits of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, and Jan-Dhan Yojanaโ, Deputy CM addressed.
Adding that the Bhartiya Janta Party takes everyone along. Brajesh Thakur while addressing the Pasmanda Muslims said, โAll of you must have had biryani once. And we know Biryani cannot be made without โbay leavesโ.
โAnd till the biryani is not cooked, we keep the bay leaves with careโ, Deputy CM said further.
โIf you go to the market to buy spices for Biryani preparation, we take the spices of Biryani (cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom) and definitely take bay leavesโ, he added.

โAfter the Biryani is cooked, we eat the black pepper and the rest of the spices but throw away the โbay leavesโ in the garbage. This is what the opposition parties have done to youโ, Brajesh Pathak underlined.
โMy brothers of the Pasmanda Community, this is what has been happening in the country post-independence. You were made a mere โbay leafโ only after taste and were let off by taking votesโ, Deputy CM said further.
Earlier, it was reported that the BJP was planning to launch a massive outreach program after the monsoon session of parliament to expand its political base.
During the BJPโs national executive meeting in Hyderabad, PM Modi asked party leaders to undertake โSneh Yatrasโ to bridge the differences between the party and people from some deprived sections, especially, the Pasmanda (OBC) Muslims.
