AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi Slams BJP, Asks Why No Backward Caste Census Conducted

Addressing a public meeting at Zaheerabad on Friday night Owaisi called BJP and Congress twins and said the two parties will not be successful in the Telangana assembly polls

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has sought to know why the BJP does not get "BC caste census" conducted if it was so concerned about the community.

The statement comes a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced at a rally in Suryapet to make a Backward Class (BC) leader as Chief Minister of Telangana if the BJP was voted to power after the November 30 assembly polls in the state.

Addressing a public meeting at Zaheerabad on Friday night Owaisi called BJP and Congress twins and said the two parties will not be successful in the Telangana assembly polls.

"Amit Shah sahab, I am telling you with responsibility. You and Congress have become 'oule zoule bhai-behan' (twins). Nothing is going to happen for you people (in favour of) in Telangana. It will be 'bye, bye' for you," he said.

"I would like to ask Amit Shah. If you are so sympathetic towards backward class, why you don't get BC census conducted," he said.

Neither PM Narendra Modi nor Congress leader Rahul Gandhi supported his demand for sub quota for OBC and Muslim women in the women's reservation bill passed in Parliament, Owaisi claimed.

Referring to former MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy, who returned to Congress after quitting BJP this week, he wondered whether Congress has become a "washing machine". Owaisi, however, did not mention Raj Gopal Reddy's name.

Reacting to Rahul Gandhi's comments about AIMIM having a tacit understanding with the BJP, the AIMIM leader asked how did Rahul Gandhi lose in Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh in the 2019 elections.

Congress and BJP were in direct contest in 185 seats in 2019 but former won in only 16 and he (Owaisi) had no role to play there, he said.?

"How did you (Congress) lose there?" he asked.

Owaisi reiterated his appeal to support 'mamu' (BRS president and CM K Chandrasekhar Rao) where AIMIM is not in the fray in the polls.

"Now, it is known from Zaheerabad and Munugode (where Raj Gopal Reddy lost bypoll on BJP ticket last year) that both BJP and Congress are 'oule, zoule bhai (twins)," he said.

He also spoke about a book given to him titled 'Congress is mother of RSS'.

Owaisi stressed that people will be given importance wherever regional parties are in power.

"If they both (national parties BJP and Congress) come to power, then there will not be anyone to address your problems," he said.
