Mafia Atiq Ahmed's name remains a matter of discussion in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, because he has left the field for the first time. From 1989 to 2017 himself or his family members have been contesting elections. But this is the first time that Atiq and his family members are not contesting the elections. Atiq, who committed the first crime at the age of 18, was involved in more than 250 crimes in the last 37 years. but till date no conviction in any case.
The Yogi government started the work of building houses for the poor on the land occupied by the government by running bulldozers on the illegal empire of more than 300 crores of Atiq.
There are about 4.5 lakh voters in the western Uttar Pradesh and more than 1 lakh voters among them are muslim voters. And Atiq Ahmed has a tight grip on almost all of them. What would be the result of Atiq being away from elections? People are only predicting results. But 1 thing is for sure, that is Crime and Politics will not go hand in hand this year.
