Telangana BJP president Kishan Reddy

BJP president in Telangana G Kishan Reddy on Thursday, 11 April, attacked AIMIM, alleging that the Asaduddin Owaisi-led party which had supported the BRS earlier, has now taken the side of ruling Congress.

The AIMIM has two agendas to secure government support for its “criminal politics and secret businesses” and oppose the BJP, Kishan Reddy, also a Union Minister, alleged.

BRS, during its 10-year rule, had supported the AIMIM for the sake of votes, he claimed.

Without naming AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi, he said the AIMIM leader had earlier praised BRS president K Chandrashekar Rao.

However, the AIMIM leader left Rao and started supporting Congress after the grand old party came to power, Kishan Reddy told reporters here.

He also alleged a clandestine electoral understanding of AIMIM with BRS in the past and now Congress in which they helped AIMIM win by splitting anti-BJP votes.

The AIMIM has no answer when the BJP’s Hyderabad Lok Sabha candidate K Madhavi Latha is exposing its “goondaism and rowdyism.”

“Majlis makes evil electoral understanding, with BRS in the past and now Congress, to create favourable conditions for the victory of Majlis by ensuring that BJP does not benefit and splitting anti-Majlis votes,” he said.

Polling in Telangana for the Lok Sabha elections would be held on 13 May.
