Hitting out at AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi over his latest remarks, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari said that intentionally or unintentionally Owaisi says and does things that benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He further advised him to control himself and speak in the national interest.
"I would like to say Owaisi sahab that, intentionally or unintentionally, you say and do things that benefit BJP. I want to cite Maharashtra, Bihar, and Jharkhand as examples. Even if he doesn't contest somewhere, he would say something that would cause polarisation for the BJP. So, control yourself, speak in the national, public, and opposition interests," said Owaisi. Earlier, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi posted on X a video in which he recommended that Congress take every opposition party with them to defeat the BJP. "How did Modi win in Haryana? I was not there or else they would call me a B-team? I want to tell the old party to please understand what I am saying that if they have to defeat Modi, they will have to take everyone along. You alone will not be able to do anything," Owaisi said. Meanwhile, reacting to Owaisi's remark, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla lashed out at the Congress party and said that it has become a "parasite party." Poonawalla said, "Be it TMC, SP, Uddhav Sena or Owaisi, ever since the results of the Haryana elections came, they are all telling Congress, 'Rahul, tumse naa ho paayega.' I think the Congress party has become a parasite party. When Congress faces the BJP without any support, we have seen its condition then in Jammu, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh...Congress stands nowhere. Congress becomes 'Betal' and makes its allies 'Vikram' and then sucks out their vote bank. So, everyone is telling them to not destroy their vote bank and contest together." The BJP clinched an absolute majority in the Haryana legislative assembly elections while the Congress could not capitalise on the 10 years of anti-incumbency of the BJP government. The BJP won 48 out of 90 seats in the Haryana assembly, while Congress managed to win 37 seats. Independents won 3 seats, and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) secured 2 seats. (ANI)
