Let the ‘Kite’ fly in Hyderabad, oust BJP: Asaduddin Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Hyderabad Lok Sabha candidate Asaduddin Owaisi gave the election war cry of “Hyderabad mey Patang, Telangana se BJP khatam” (The Kite [AIMIM’s symbol] for Hyderabad, oust BJP from Telangana) during his last public meeting before LS polls on Saturday.

He asserted that this election was not about ‘Mamu’, a term he used for BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao, but to remove Prime Minister Narendra Modi from power.

“This parliamentary election is not about Mamu, but about removing Modi. If you don’t understand this, I am saying again clearly: Secunderabad mey motay ku jitaao (Make the fat man win in Secunderabad). Nizamabad mey jissku sufaid baal zyaada hai ussku jitaao ( In Nizamabad, make the one who has more grey hair win). Chevella mey dublay ku jitaao (In Chevella, make the lean man win),” he said, in an oblique reference to the Congress candidates.
