Hours after the schedule for legislative assembly elections-2023 in five states was released, Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday said that his party, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), had decided to field candidates in Rajasthan Assembly elections and hoped that Telangana Chief Minister K. Chadrashekar Rao would emerge victorious for the third time.
Speaking to the media at AIMIM headquarters in Darussalaam, Mr Owaisi said that while every state has different issues to deal with, the party, in both Telangana and Rajasthan, would strive to work for fostering leadership from the minority and Dalit communities.
“There is one certain commonality between Telangana and Rajasthan. That is political leadership of minority communities and Dalits should have a voice so that there is political empowerment and that brings about social justice. And that they get their share in development, and education,” Mr Owaisi said.
