Owaisi urges people to give Triple Talaq to BJP, SP in Uttar Pradesh

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and Samajwadi Party (SP) amid the ongoing Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. While addressing a poll meeting in the Madhogarh Assembly constituency of Jalaun district, Owaisi equated the BJP and the SP and termed UP CM Yogi Adityanath and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav as "separated brothers". He avered that both consider themselves as "emperors and not leaders". 

During his address, Owaisi also attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over triple talaq and opined that people should say "talaq, talaq, talaq" to the BJP and the SP. He added that Yogi Adityanath and Akhilesh Yadav should be made to sit at home so that Dalits, backwards, minorities and the poor can benefit. 

"The SP and the BJP are two sides of the same coin and it seems that Yogi-Akhilesh are brothers who had got separated. The mentality of both is the same. Both are cruel and arrogant. They do not consider themselves as leaders, but as emperors," he said.

Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief said, "Modi talks about triple talaq. But this time, people should say talaq, talaq, talaq to both the BJP and



the SP, and this will end their story (in Uttar Pradesh)."

Campaigning for the candidate of the Bhagidari Parivartan Morcha, of which the AIMIM is a part, Owaisi said, "The Uttar Pradesh chief minister thinks of himself as the wazir (prime minister) of the sultan (king) sitting in Delhi. A person who becomes an emperor in politics has to be removed."

He said the time has come for people to make Adityanath and Yadav sit at home.

"One (Yadav) has to be sent to Saifai, while another has to be sent to Gorakhpur. Dalits, backwards, minorities and the poor will be benefitted only if they are made to sit at home," Owaisi said.

He said both Adityanath and Yadav are speaking in the same tone, adding, "They do not give any importance to the Constitution. They want to gain power for themselves."

Sharpening his attack on the saffron party, Owaisi said, "The BJP talks about defeating the Mughals for winning elections. The Mughals have died and their bones have melt. Only at the time of elections, they are brought back. Akhilesh talks about (Muhammad Ali) Jinnah. Hence, either of these parties coming to power will not be in the interest of Dalits, backwards and minorities."
