"This is false and baseless statement. Only two Muslim voters in the whole country may cast their votes in Narendra Modi's favour. One belongs to Bihar (Shahnawaz Hussain) and another to Allahabad (Mukhtar Naqvi)," the former Congress MP said.
According to BJP sources, in his address to party state unit presidents and election campaign committee members, Modi had claimed that he had got the support of 25 per cent Muslims in his state and the party should try to reach out to the minorities across the country.
"We are watching how many Muslim candidates will be fielded by the BJP in the coming assembly elections in five states and next Lok Sabha elections," he said.
Alvi said the BJP leader is "very much hungry to become Prime Minister and he is not realising his defeats in Karnataka where he was chairman of the BJP campaign committee and we have a government there."
