Hyderabad: In an indirect jibe at the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Bharat Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Thursday accused him of helping the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). 

Hitting out at the Hyderabad MP, Tikait warned a farmers’ gathering in the capital city about an "unbridled bull" who “helps BJP the most.

In an obvious reference to Owaisi, Tikait asked farmers to tie down the 'bull' in Hyderabad and don't let him move out of Telangana.

"You have an unbridled bull here who's helping BJP. Tie him down here itself. He helps BJP the most. Don't let him out of here. He says something else but has some other goal. Don't let him go out of Hyderabad & Telangana," Tikait said during an event in Telangana.

Tikait said this while addressing a 'Maha Dharna' organised by All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC)-Telangana unit in Hyderabad to mark one year of the countrywide agitation by the farmers against the three agri laws.

His veiled jibe came on the backdrop of Owaisi's decision to contest Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections slated in early 2022. The BKU spokesperson has often seen criticising Owaisi's decision to expand AIMIM's base in UP, a move allegedly aimed at helping BJP by cutting votes of Opposition parties.

In a slightly different stand, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently termed Owaisi as an 'agent' of the Samajwadi Party. He said that Owaisi was trying to instigate people by becoming an agent of Akhilesh Yadav's party.
