Patna, October 28 (IANS) AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday intensified his Bihar Assembly election campaign by addressing rallies in Dhaka and Munger.
In Dhaka in East Champaran district he campaigned for the party’s candidate Rana Ranjit Singh, while in Munger he sought support for AIMIM candidate Monajir Hasan.
During his speeches, Owaisi launched a scathing attack on both the NDA and the Grand Alliance (Grand Alliance) and accused them of neglecting the state’s Muslim community.
Owaisi said that Bihar should get freedom from 15 years of jungle raj of Tejashwi and 20 years of jungle raj of Nitish Kumar.
Taking aim at Tejashwi Yadav, he said, “In Bihar, the son of the Mallah community, comprising only 3 per cent of the population, can be made the Deputy Chief Minister and the son of the community, comprising 14 per cent of the population, can be made the Chief Minister, but Muslims, comprising 17 per cent of the population, are deprived of both the posts. This is not social justice – it is political discrimination.”
The AIMIM chief also attacked the BJP-led government on the National Register of Citizens (NRC) issue.
He commented, “After NRC, only two infiltrators have been identified. Amit Shah and PM Modi say infiltrators have entered Bihar – so where are they? If they are calling them rats, let me tell them that Owaisi does not hunt rats.”
Later, at a massive rally held at Charwaha Vidyalaya ground in Munger, Owaisi attracted thousands of supporters and continued his sharp criticism of both the ruling and opposition alliances.
Owaisi also targeted PM Modi, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and accused them of doing politics of convenience.
He said, ‘Nitish’s heart beats for Rajgir, Lalu Prasad and Rabri’s heart beats for Tejashwi and PM Modi’s heart beats for Ahmedabad.’
Challenging RJD, Owaisi asked, “How long will you keep scaring Muslims in the name of BJP?”
He further said that both the governments of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar have been a symbol of “jungle raj”, arguing that Bihar is suffering from anarchy and neglect under their rule.
