All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi claimed that the Congress party had offered him Rs 25 lakh to cancel his campaign rally in Telangana’s Nirmal. In reaction he said, “what will you give us, we made the Taj Mahal and you will give us (wealth)?”
Addressing a rally here on Monday, Owaisi said, “I am not like them, I cannot sell my promise. I truly believe in promoting my people and their interests. I want to see our flag hoisted in every corner of India. I want to see the progress and zeal of the youth of every youth in the country. I salute all the hundreds of youths who came to see me when I reached here. This is the energy I want to create.”
The AIMIM president further stated that his only demand is to promote justice and dignity.
“And these
Congress people, they have so much pride in their wealth. What will you give us? We made the Taj Mahal and you will give us (wealth)? The Charminar, Jama Masjid, Qutab Minar, the fort in Nirmal, our presence is strong in every corner of this country. This is the difference! To stop our rally, they were offering Rs 25 lakh in party funds. This is a symbol of their pride,” Owaisi added.
The Hyderabad MP further claimed that he had a call record to prove the allegation. He also urged voters to stand firm against such influences.
Owaisi added that he would sacrifice his life but would never compromise the party's interests. Notably, AIMIM is not contesting in Nirmal and Owaisi was in the constituency to campaign for Telangana Rashtra Samithi candidate P Indrakaran Reddy.
