AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi talking about GHMC poll results said that AIMIM will continue to fight the BJP in a democratic way.
Dismissing any ‘BJP storm’, Owaisi said, “Where is the storm? Had there been a storm, BJP wouldn’t have lost in Maharashtra MLC election. BJP had said they would conduct surgical strike in old city. But they couldn’t do anything in my area.
We did democratic strike. We contested in 51 seats and won 44. Think what would have happened, had AIMIM contested in 80 seats.” In 2016, the party had contested in 60 seats and won 44 seats, thus making this year’s strike rate better than 2016, Owaisi added.
“We are confident that people of Telangana will stop the BJP from expanding its footprints in the state,” Owaisi said. Owaisi’s party, which is based in Telangana, was looking to make more gains in this year’s election as the party recently won five assembly seats in Bihar. However, the party maintained its stronghold and its 2016 tally — 44 seats.
“We have won on 44 seats in Hyderabad GHMC elections. I have spoken to all newly elected corporators and asked them to begin their work from tomorrow itself,” Owaisi said.
