Congress-MIM ‘wicked’ plan to ensure Asaduddin Owaisi’s victory: Kishan Reddy

Telangana BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy said that a ‘wicked’ plan has been hatched by the Congress in coordination with the Majlis party to ensure that there is no split in the anti-Majlis vote for ensuring the victory of MIM president and sitting MP Asaduddin Owaisi from the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat again.

“The ‘communal’ MIM, which has obstructed Old City’s development, has again changed political colours by moving closer to the ruling party to secure its fiefdom and shady business deals, as it needs government support to go ahead. The Congress too, is following BRS in shamelessly bowing to the Owaisi brothers,” he charged at a press conference on Thursday.

Mr. Reddy has accused the government of giving a ‘free hand’ to the Majlis party to indulge in communal rhetoric and clashes as was evident in the manner in which the recent Chengicherla incident was handled where innocents were targeted by the police, letting the ‘real mafia’ get away scot-free.
