  •  In April 2024, a video of Maria Alam went viral on the internet in which she was seen seeking votes for the INDIA bloc’s candidate Naval Kishore Shakya. During her speech, she asked the voters to do Vote Jihad. She also criticised the BJP government and also asked the voters to boycott the Muslims who support the BJP government.  She said,

    Together do vote jihad — with intelligence, without being sentimental and with silence. As we can only do vote jihad to drive away this Sanghi government. It is time to join hands, otherwise this Sanghi government will succeed in wiping out our existence. “
