All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday predicted the defeat of Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Eatala Rajender in the by-elections to Huzurabad assembly seat.
Owaisi also exuded confidence that the AIMIM would win considerable number of seats in Uttar Pradesh elections scheduled to be held early next year.
“We are going to contest 100 seats in Uttar Pradesh elections in 2022. Our objective is to ensure that current Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath does not come to power,” AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, in a talk with the media.
The Hyderabad MP said a deliberate attempt was being made by the BJP party to disturb pluralism and the secular fabric of Telangana.
“Huzurabad voters are definitely aware of the BJPs divisive politics and would teach fitting lesson to the party,” said Owaisi.
He found fault with BJP leaders’ comments and their narrative during campaigns in Huzurabad constituency.
“BJP leaders are abusing at will and the threatening attitude will have an adverse impact on the voters. It will be an eye-opener,” he said.
The MIM chief said the Central Government was discriminative towards Telangana, especially in terms of extending financial support. There was a deluge in Hyderabad during October last year and no support was extended by the Central Government.
On the contrary, when there was any calamity in BJP-ruled States, financial assistance was extended immediately, he pointed out.
“I have been demanding the Central Government to share details of the assistance extended to Telangana, especially to GHMC but there is no response so far,” said Owaisi.
