On Monday, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy brushed aside Yogi Adityanath’s comment in which he said that Asaduddin Owaisi would flee Telangana after the BJP came to power.
He said election speeches tended to use hyperbole and that as a citizen of India, Owaisi was free to reside anywhere in the country.
He told a news channel: “These are election speeches. They tend to use hyperbole. "Owaisi is a citizen of India. He can reside anywhere he wants", and not forgetting to add the condition, "...unless he's running away from the law. That's a different matter."
He added with a cricket analogy: “I don't think Adityanath seriously meant he will run away. We basically say these in figurative terms very often. For example, if Virat Kohli comes to bat the Australians will run away from the field -- that doesn't mean that they'll actually run away."
Earlier, htting back at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday said that the former is less concerned about his state and is trying to spread hatred in Telangana ahead of assembly elections.
Speaking at a rally in Malakpet, Owaisi said, ‘Bharatiya Janata Party’s model is ‘Hindu-Muslim’. Their model is that Amit Shah comes to various events and only speaks about Asaduddin Owaisi and AIMIM as he does not have anything else to say. Amit Shah, please tell what have you done in India in the last four and a half years’ Is there something that you wanted to do, but could not’’
He added, ‘Their Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has come to Hyderabad. He is saying that if BJP will form the government in Telangana then they will throw Asaduddin Owaisi out like Nizam. I want to ask him since when did he start talking all this’ Does this nation only belong to you and not me’ Will they throw us out of this country if we speak against BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, criticise his politics and talk against Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’’
Further criticizing Adityanath, Owaisi said, ‘You are zero in history and don’t know dates. If you can’t read then ask somebody who can. If you were educated, then you would have known that Nizam didn’t leave Hyderabad. When India fought against China, then he was the one who sold his gold.’
Owaisi’s statement came after Yogi Adityanath earlier on Sunday said that if the BJP comes to power in Telangana, then Owaisi will have to flee from the state as Nizam left Hyderabad.
Addressing an election rally at Tandur, Vikarabad in Telangana, Adityanath said, "If BJP comes to power in Telangana, I assure you Owaisi will have to flee from Telangana the same way as Nizam was forced to flee from Hyderabad. BJP will give security to all but will not allow anyone to create anarchy."
Telangana Assembly elections are on December 7 while the counting of votes will take place on December 11
