With both the ruling tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition and the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) soliciting the support of Independents and smaller parties in the high stakes Rajya Sabha elections in Maharashtra, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday claimed no one from the ruling MVA had contacted them yet.
Mr. Owaisi, who was speaking in Nanded, further said that if the ruling alliance of the Shiv Sena, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress did indeed wish to claim the AIMIM’s support, then the MVA ought to make its communication clear and in the open.
Despite holding a meeting with party functionaries, Mr. Owaisi and other AIMIM leaders did not come up with any decision to support either the MVA or the BJP.
