'Looks like Dance of monkeys...'says Asaduddin Owaisi on Maharashtra political crisis

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday offered his (unflattering) take on the unfolding crisis in Maharashtra, calling those involved 'monkeys' and describing the events as 'a dance of monkeys... jumping from one branch to another'. He said he would not involve himself or his party in what is an internal matter of the Shiv Sena and the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi government.

"Let Maha Vikas Aghadi deliberate on this matter... it is their problem. Why should I go



there and say something? We are keeping an eye on the unfolding drama..." the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president told ANI.

Pressed to comment on the situation, Owaisi shrugged: "It looks like a dance of monkeys. They are acting like monkeys jumping from one branch to another."

The crisis erupted Wednesday after rebel Sena leader Eknath Shinde decamped with MLAs from his party and independent lawmakers to BJP-ruled Gujarat.
