"We will take on NDA, BJP and whoever is our opponent": Asaduddin Owaisi - World News Network

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 1 (ANI): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi said on Monday that his newly formed alliance, “PDM (Pichda, Dalit Musalman)” in Uttar Pradesh will take on both the NDA, BJP and whoever is the opponent.
“We will take on both NDA, BJP and whoever is our opponent against the PDM alliance. AIMIM’s performance in the last civic elections was good. We have five chairmen and more than 100 of our councillors have won. Our organization is getting stronger in Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
Further, the AIMIM chief slammed the Samajwadi party and said that they should reveal what is going on in their party whether it is the case of Moradabad or Rampur.
“They have given tickets to two candidates on one Moradabad seat. They are in bad condition all around in Uttar Pradesh,” Owaisi added.
Meanwhile, AIMIM and Apna Dal (Kamerawadi) announced an alliance in Uttar Pradesh for the Lok Sabha elections on Sunday.
Other parties like Premchand Bind’s Pragatisheel Manav Samaj Party and Rashtriya Uday Party are also included in the alliance.
Earlier, Owaisi accused Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav of exploiting Muslims in the name of participation but never gave them any chance to rise and live with dignity.
“In the name of PDA, Akhilesh Yadav has been continuously fooling the Muslims and he wants the Muslims to just keep selling carpets and shouting slogans for them. He cancelled the ticket of a senior political leader in Moradabad (ST Hasan). Akhilesh Yadav talks about the participation of Muslims but does not give them any participation. Their aim is that Muslims keep voting for them blindly. They are creating drama in Rampur also,” he said.
Uttar Pradesh, which sends the maximum number of MPs, 80, to Parliament, will vote in all seven phases.
Voting for phases one and two will be held on April 19 and April 26. Next, the state will once again poll in phases three and four on May 7 and May 13.
The Uttar Pradesh electorate will also vote in phases five, six and seven on May 20, May 23 and June 1 respectively.
The votes will be counted on June 4. (ANI)
