Challenge Rahul Gandhi to fight against me in Hyderabad: Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to fight the Lok Sabha polls next year from Hyderabad, the former’s bastion.

Asaduddin Owaisi has challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to fight against him in Hyderabad.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has thrown down a challenge to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling on him to contest the Lok Sabha polls from Hyderabad, the former’s bastion.

“Abki baar Wayanad nahi, abki baar Hyderabad (Contest elections from Hyderabad and not Wayanad),” said Owaisi, referring to Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala.

“You [Rahul Gandhi] keep giving big statements, come to the ground and fight against me. People from Congress will say a lot of things, but I am ready,” he said at a public meeting in Hyderabad on Sunday, September 25.

Owaisi’s salvo against Rahul Gandhi comes days after the Congress leader launched a blistering attack on the four-time Hyderabad MP, accusing him of being in the BJP’s pocket by highlighting the fact that central probe agencies are not investigating him.

“There is no case against AIMIM. Only the opposition is attacked. Modi ji never attacks his own people. He regards your CM and AIMIM leaders as his own, and therefore, there is no case against them,” the Gandhi scion told a gathering in Tukkuguda last week after Congress announced its poll guarantees in Telangana.
