AIMIM will contest all elections in Maharashtra from Aurangabad on and the option of entering into alliances is also open, party president Asaduddin Owaisi said on Saturday.

The AIMIM chief, lashing out at Pakistan said that Pakistan is 50 years behind India, and stressed that Islam is not just the name of a sport.

Earlier on Monday, Pakistan Minister Sheikh Rasheed stated that Pakistan's win against India at the T20 World Cup 2021 was a 'victory for Islam'.

Months ahead of the elections, the AIMIM claimed that Dalits and Muslims face the most injustices in Uttar Pradesh and asked them to beware of the politics of the leaders.

Asaduddin Owaisi said that the BJP will soon declare Veer Savarkar as 'the father of the nation'.  

"Why does Narendra Modi not remove Ajay Mishra from cabinet? If the father is a minister, the vehicle belonged to him, it caused death of 5 farmers, he warns people and two days later 5 farmers are killed, why does Narendra Modi not sack him?" Owaisi asked during a rally in Balrampur.

Shivpal Yadav said that he would wait till October 11 to get a response from Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav after which he would decide his own course of action.

Speaking during India TV Chunav Manch in Lucknow, Owaisi said countered both the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party while accusing them of using Muslims just to win elections.

India TV Chunav Manch, is once again set up to talk about what can be the electoral equations in UP, what is the situation of parties in UP and many more.
