Not in alliance with anyone in Telangana: AIMIM chief Owaisi

Hyderabad (Telangana): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief, Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday said that his party is not in alliance with any other party in Telangana for the Lok Sabha elections.

Owaisi is seeking re-election from the Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency. He held a door-to-door canvassing in the Falkanuma area of Hyderabad on Saturday.

Speaking to the media on Saturday, the AIMIM chief said, "We are not in alliance with anyone in Telangana. In Uttar Pradesh, we formed PDM (Pichchda, Dalit, Musalman) with Pallavi Patel. In Tamil Nadu, we have an alliance with the AIDMK but in Telangana, we have not formed an alliance with any party."

"We have full clarity, we have faith in our hard work. I am optimistic that our candidates will be victorious," said Owaisi.

The AIMIM chief also spoke on the CAA and said, "BJP has made unconstitutional law 'CAA'. It has been made based on religion, which goes against the right to equality, therefore I tore a copy of the Citizenship (Amendment) bill in Parliament. We were, are and continue to be against this (CAA)."
