TMC bagged Muslim votes but did nothing for community: Owaisi in Kolkata

KOLKATA: (Mar 25) Alleging that the TMC bagged Muslim votes but did nothing for the community, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday claimed that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's politics helped the BJP grow in West Bengal.

Addressing a press conference in Kolkata, Owaisi claimed people of Bengal were suffocated, and his party has joined hands with Humayun Kabir's AJUP to provide the alternative they are looking for and create an independent political leadership for Muslims.

"Nearly 5 lakh OBC certificates were cancelled. Among those, many belonged to Muslims. Is that not an issue," he asked.
