Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday obliquely expressed his appreciation for Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao stating that he has “worked” for the State.
Mr Owaisi was speaking at what the party celebrates as -- National Integration Day -- at Hockey Ground, soon after concluding a well-attended Tiranga rally. Here, Mr Owaisi criticised the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party and referred to the CM as “maamu” and in the Dakhni idiom said that a known person is more reliable than an unknown person.
“People will say that he (Owaisi) has spoken about these two (Congress and BJP), why is he not saying anything about the third (Bharat Rashtra Samithi)? I will say about the third that naye maamu se nakte maamu achhe hai. And maamu has indeed worked. And the reason for working is also because we (AIMIM) are also there,” Mr Owaisi said, even as he sought to know from those present whether communal amity is a reality in the State, and if they are facing issues connected to electricity and power.
