AIMIM confident of strategy for Telangana polls; alleges Congress, BJP working together in some constituencies

The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leadership has expressed confidence in its strategy ahead of the Telangana Assembly elections, even as they alleged that the Congress and and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) were working together in some constituencies.

“People have been making tall claims. But I am certain of the Majlis’ political decision in connection with Telangana elections; Allah will not let it go in vain. Remember, Congress and BJP never want leaders to emerge from within your ranks. They do not want you to become leaders,” said Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi at a public meeting in Khilwat.

The AIMIM president alleged that the two parties were in cahoots in Korutla, Nirmal, and Adilabad (town). He claimed that they were working closely in Karimnagar so that former Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar could win. “I had already cautioned you that for several seats, Congress, BJP and RSS are working together. The Telangana Congress chief (A.Revanth Reddy) was nurtured in the RSS, and his RSS ideology will remain today, and even tomorrow,” Mr. Owaisi said.
