Before Delhi elections, Asaduddin Owaisi targeted AAP
Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, questioned the Aam Aadmi Party administration about ‘trash’ being thrown in Muslim-dominated neighborhoods before of the Delhi Assembly elections.
Additionally, he said that places with a majority of Muslims have not developed and do not have adequate schools or clinics.
“The waste from Delhi is dumped in the assembly seats where Muslims reside. Schools and hospitals have not been constructed in places where Muslims predominate. “Those areas have not seen any development,” Owaisi said.
According to the AIMIM chairman, he has submitted more than two RTI petitions to the government, requesting that it disclose which homes are being provided to Muslims under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
“As a Muslim, I have submitted more than two RTI petitions asking the government how many of the homes awarded under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana are going to Muslims.How many Muslims are enrolled in the government program?All pronouncements, whether from the central government or the AAP, are only made before to the elections,” he said.
Owaisi said that the “One Nation One Election” is against the Constitution and not in the “interest” of the electorate.
Notably, the Election Commission has not yet disclosed the polling dates.
The BJP unveiled its first slate of 29 candidates for the February 2025 assembly elections in Delhi earlier today. Among others, the BJP has put up former Congress leader Arvinder Singh Lovely from Gandhi Nagar, Kailash Gehlot from Bijwasan, Manjinder Singh Sirsa from Rajouri Garden, and National General Secretary Dushyant Gautam from Karol Bagh.
In the 2020 assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party won 62 of the 70 available seats. The party won 67 of 70 seats in the 2015 assembly elections, giving them a complete majority.
The Congress party, which ruled Delhi for 15 years in a row, has not won any seats in the last two assembly elections.
