Congress Muslim MLA meets Modi again, with another delegationGandhinagar, 23 March, 2011

There’s one Muslim MLA of Congress who is inching near to Chief Minister Narendra Modi day by day.
We are talking about Sabir Kabliwala, two-time Congress MLA from Ahmedabad’s Muslims dominated Jamalpur constituency. Next year in December Gujarat will witness assembly election in which major part of Jamalpur constituency will merge with Hindu dominated Khadia. However Muslims will still be majority voters. Thus BJP may need a Muslim candidate to secure this seat. However at this stage it is difficult to say whether Modi is luring Sabir Kabliwala or whether is it other way round!
In last one month, Kabliwala has visited Modi twice with delegations of Muslims. Today He came to meet Modi with Chhipa community’s workers involved in textile printing. Chhipa community dominates Jamalpur area from where Kabliwala is elected.
In recent past Modi attended Kabliwala’s daughter’s wedding reception and spent long time there than expected.
In recently completed Khadia assembly byelection, Kabliwala was responsible for securing Muslim votes of Raikhad area for Congress candidate, however party took note that the work was not done. Kabliwala’s superficial commitment was considered as one of the factors due to which Congress party lost Khadia byelection.
It is interesting to note that soon after the byelection, Kabliwala was appointed in prestigious Wakf board as a member by Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Kabliwala is rich Muslim and like many other rich Muslims he is inching near to Narendra Modi. Though Kabliwala and his party deny any possibility of him joining BJP in future, everyone is watching his movements closely, particularly the Congress leadership in the state.
