Congress, BJP Seeking Votes on Majority Religion: Asaduddin Owaisi
Hyderabad, May 5 (Maxim News): AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi said that Congress and BJP are seeking votes on the basis of the majority religion in the upcoming Karnataka elections. But they never raised the issue of the Hijab and other minority issues.
Asaduddin Owaisi took to Twitter and said, “Congress and BJP are openly demanding votes on the basis of majority religion, will congress promise reconstruction of a demolished dargah in Hubli, he questioned. He alleged that the Congress has surrendered its ideological battle with BJP.
Reacting to the Karnataka Congress Chief D.K Shivakumar, Asaduddin Owaisi said that the Congress party will prioritize the construction of Lord Hanuman temples in various parts of the state. “We have a commitment to the development of Anjaneya (Lord Hanuman) temples across the state if the Congress party comes to power.
He recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the people of Karnataka should abuse those making abuses by saying “jai Bajrangbali” when they cast their vote.
“What is the other way to seek votes, abuse Modi, abuses are being hurled. Does anyone in Karnataka accept a culture where anyone can abuse, a culture of abuse does Karnataka forgive those who hurl abuses? What will you do this time, will you punish, when you press the button at the polling booth, punish those who hurl abuses by saying “jai Bajrangbali” PM Modi said?
Congress released the Karnataka election manifesto which talked of a ban on organizations like Bajrang Dal and the Popular Front of India.
The Congress manifesto said the party is committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organizations spreading hatred among communities on grounds of caste and religion.
The polling for Karnataka elections will take place on May 10 and the counting of votes will take place on May 13. (Maxim News)
