Owaisi also slammed the Centre the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026.
Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday questioned the rationale of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal urging citizens to refrain from buying gold to save foreign exchange amid the ongoing West Asia crisis. He observed that the BJP-led NDA government was concealing the actual state of the Indian economy.
Addressing media persons at Darussalam, Owaisi asked why the Prime Minister presented tolerating hardships like rising fuel prices as a form of patriotism, when these price hikes often happened right after elections. He wondered why the Prime Minister remained silent when the polls were still underway in four states and a Union Territory.
“The Prime Minister is now framing this as a matter of patriotism, which means that a true patriot is one who stoically endures such burdens. I would say that an invoice is now coming due for the people of India, and the nature of this invoice will be a hike in the prices of petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel. Their prices are set to rise significantly,” he cautioned.
Owaisi also slammed the Centre the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026. He challenged the effectiveness of the anti-paper leak law passed by Parliament and demanded to know what answers the Prime Minister had for students whose parents spent lakhs on coaching.
Bandi Bhagirath case : Owaisi counters BRS over questioning his silence till now, by pointing out 2022 case
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday said the law would take its own course in the case of Sai Bandi Bageerath, son of Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who has been booked in a case of the alleged rape of a minor.
Owaisi said the police had already registered a case under the Pocso Act. “I hope the complainant gets justice. The law will take its own course. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has made public assurance in this regard,” he said.
Over the criticism from BRS leaders questioning his silence in the Bageerath case, Owaisi noted that former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao should once again take the reins into his own party, as those currently speaking on behalf of the party seemed to have a weak memory.
He recalled when the BRS was in power, the son of a board’s chairman was allegedly involved in a similar case (involving a minor). He questioned what action the BRS government had taken at that time. He was referring to the alleged involvement of the son of a Waqf Board official and others involved in gangrape near Peddamma Gudi in 2022.
