Hyderabad (Telangana): AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi tore into Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday blaming him for Congress’ string of losses in states where it had been in power. Owaisi came heavily down upon Rahul after the latter dubbed AIMIM as the ‘C’ team of the BJP. Owaisi said Congress’ secular politics is a sham. “Congress says its pro-Muslims but does not have a parliamentarian from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat or Andhra Pradesh,” he said at a press conference here.

Rahul, addressing a rally in poll-bound Telangana two days ago, accused Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) of being the "B team" of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

“Rahul Gandhi is a janedharu Hindu and India's Constitution destroys such casteist and feudal mindset,” the Hyderabad MP lambasted.

Owaisi alleged that both the BJP and Congress were distributing certificates of nationalism and secularism which he did not require. “BJP and Congress and running a Lala ki dukan”

He said that Congress is losing elections in most states because of Rahul Gandhi.



Owaisi also took the opportunity to attack MNS chief Raj Thackeray who had alleged that that the former was conspiring with BJP to instigate riots on Ram temple issue.

“Your party is the one which attacks people from UP and Bihar and you are instead accusing me. For you to survive, you will have to keep dragging my name,” he said.
