AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his꧃ allegation that the AIMIM takes money from the BJP and fields candidates against the Congress in various states.
Owaisi alleged 🌼that Gandhi made such allegations against him because of the latter's hatred towards his religious identity.
Addressing a public meeting at Sangareddy near Hyderabad on Thursday night, he took strong exception to Gandhi's accusation that the AIMIM, after taking money from the BJP, fields candidates wherever the Congress is fighting the BJPꦐ, reported PTI.
Gandhi is parroting what so🥃meone has giಞven to him in writing, he claimed.
The AIMIM leader asked Ga♌ndhi how much mo🎀ney he took to lose the elections from the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency.
&quo🍸t;Did you (Rahul) take money from BJP to lose elections in 2014 and 2019?" h𒅌e asked.
"Rahul Gandhi, you make these accusations becಌause my name is Asaduddin. Because I have a beard on my face and wear a skull cဣap, that's why you make allegations of taking money against me... It is your hatred against this name and you have hatred against those donning beards and skull caps. That's why you make the allegations," he said.
"Your friend (Jyotiraditya) Scindia joined the BJP but you don't tell him he took money. Your friend Jitin Prasada, who too joined BJP, didn't tell him he took money ♔to join BJP," he said.
On Gaꩲndhi's remarks that the Congress would give back to people the corrupt money taken from people by Telangana Chie🔜f Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Owaisi said the Congress leader has "become Modi 2".
Prime Minister💯 Narendra Modi had promised in 2014 to deposit Rs 15 lakh in "everyone's account", the AIMIM leader claimed, adding that not even ꦜ15 paise came.
Targeting the AIMIM, Gandhi, during his poll rallies in Telangana, alleged on Wednesday that the Asadu🌟ddin Owaisi-led party fields candidates wherever the Congress fights the BJP𝓰 by taking money from the saffron party.
"Wherever we go to fight the elections... Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tripura, w🎐herever Congress party fights with BJP, MIM party takes money from BJP and puts up candidates there," he had claimed.
Assembly elections in Telangana are slated for November 30.
