PM Modi And Mamata Are Two Sides Of Same Coin, Alleges AIMIM Chief Owaisi
This comes after a "sting video" posted on X by the TMC, in which the AJUP chief Humayun Kabir purportedly said that he had struck a deal of "Rs 1,000 crore". AIMIM said that it raised concerns regarding the "integrity of Muslims"
Berhampore: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee “two sides of the same coin” in his bid to woo the Muslims, who have been aligned to the Trinamul Congress, in the Assembly Election here.
Mr Owaisi also defended his decision to break up with his ally Aam Janata Unnyan Party founder Humayun Kabir after two videos, leaked by TMC last week, showed the latter demanding ₹1000 crores from BJP to “fool” Muslims and split their votes in the polls.
In his first rally after the collapse of the alliance with Mr Kabir's outfit, the AIMIM chief told a poll campaign rally of his party at Raghunathgunj in Murshidabad, “As soon as the video surfaced, I ended it (alliance) because the Majlis will not tolerate the bargain of the Muslims in Bengal.”
Referring to Ms Banerjee's previous stint in the NDA, he alleged, “Tell me didn't she and TMC side with the BJP? Didn't they help BJP win the Dum Dum Lok Sabha seat? Modi and Mamata are two sides of the same coin. They are like brothers and sisters.”
Mr Owaisi, who further attacked the TMC chief for calling him vote katua (vote splitter) while helping BJP to grow in the state, even threatened to organise Chakka Jam in Kolkata soon over the OBC reservation for the oppressed Muslims of Murshidabad.
Mr Kabir however claimed, "AIMIM state president Imran Solanki and other leaders have secretly decided to ensure TMC victory at Jangipur and Raghunathgunj in exchange of ₹20 crores.”
