Union Ministers Uma Bharti and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Monday echoed Home Minister Rajnath Singh's stand on the BJP fielding Muslim candidates in the ongoing Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Bharti, Minister for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, said the Bharatiya Janata Party made a "huge mistake" by not fielding any Muslim candidate. Her Cabinet colleague Naqvi too said it would have been better if their party had fielded Muslim candidates.
