Asaduddin Owaisi counters Modi's 'Congress and BRS leased Hyderabad to AIMIM' claim
Hyderabad/IBNS: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi who claimed Congress and BRS have leased Hyderabad, the capital city of Telangana, to the former's party, media reports said.
Slamming Modi, Owaisi posted on X, "Modi came to Telangana and said that the Hyderabad seat has been given on lease to Owaisi. The people of Hyderabad are not cattle. We are citizens, not the property of political parties. For forty years, Hyderabad has defeated the evil ideology of Hindutva and entrusted AIMIM. inshallah Hindutva will be defeated again.
"Modi is bonded to those who gave his party ₹6000 crores through electoral bonds. In return, he has leased/sold India’s assets to his “sponsors”. Modi appeased them so much that today 21 people have more wealth than 70 crore Indians in total. Those 21 are his real “parivar.”
Modi came to Telangana and said that the Hyderabad seat has been given on lease to Owaisi.

Speaking at a rally in Telangana, Modi said, "The appeasement bond between Congress and BRS is very strong. They have given Hyderabad to MIM in a lease. BJP is the first party to challenge MIM, which is now worried.
"Congress and BRS are even more worried than MIM. Congress and BRS are now trying hard to make MIM win."
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BJP fielded actress-politician Madhavi Latha against Owaisi, who won the Hyderabad seat four times.
Telangana will go to polls on May 13.
