'Modi's Photo Not Working': Owaisi Taunts BJP Over Its Congress-BRS ‘Nikahnama’ Poster
Owaisi's jibe comes in the wake of a cartoon posted by BJP on X. The poster featured Owaisi as a Qazi (religious leader) solemnising the marriage between Congress and BRS.
New Delhi: Taunting the BJP over a ‘nikahnama’ poster showing AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi solemnizing a marriage between Congress and BRS, the former said the saffron party was resorting to his photo as the picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to make an impact in poll-bound Telangana.
“Kya main sabka dulha bhai hoon? Kya main sabka bhaijaan hoon? (Am I everyone's groom? Am I everyone’s brother?)," Owaisi said.
His jibe comes in the wake of a cartoon posted by BJP on X. The poster featured Owaisi as a Qazi (religious leader) solemnising the marriage between Congress and BRS. The caption read “Yes, it is no longer a private affair.”

Addressing a public meeting, Owaisi said, “In a cartoon, I was shown as a Qazi (religious leader) conducting the marriage of Congress and BRS. The BJP has finally got to know that PM Modi's photo is not working for them in poll-bound Telangana. They know that putting out my poster will be beneficial for them. Go ahead. Do it, as your PM Modi's photo has failed to make any impact.”
