Political fireworks in Telangana: Asaduddin Owaisi levels counter-'B-team' charge at Rahul Gandhi, reminds Yogi Adityanath of UP CM responsibilities
Asaduddin Owaisi has hit back at both Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Congress president Rahul Gandhi over their attacks at him and the AIMIM and, in particular, Yogi Adityanath's statement that Owaisi would have to flee Telangana like the erstwhile Nizam fled Hyderabad, and Rahul Gandhi's 'C-team' charge.

Asaduddin Owaisi has hit back at both Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Congress president Rahul Gandhi over their attacks at him and the AIMIM and, in particular, Yogi Adityanath's statement that Owaisi would have to flee Telangana like the erstwhile Nizam fled Hyderabad, and Rahul Gandhi's 'C-team' charge.
In response to the Congress president, who had called the AIMIM the 'C-team' of the BJP and accused it of only working split the non-BJP/TRS votes, Asaduddin Owaisi directed a scathing entitlement allegation at Rahul Gandhi, saying 'Janeudhari will always think he is No. 1 and the rest of us who aren't Savarna are impure Mlecchas'. He asks Rahul Gandhi what he was between 1998 and 2012 (seemingly in the context of religion and/or caste) and goes on to call Congress Hindutva's B-team while simultaneously expressing his party's political independence.
Meanwhile, he also took on the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, raising how his party had taken steps to prevent the same kind of tragedy that had unfolded in the BRD medical college and hospital in Gorakhpur last year when hundreds of children died because of lapses in the supply of piped Oxygen.
Asaduddin Owaisi has advised Yogi Adityanath to be more concerned about matters like this than 'building walls of hatred' in his city.
He has posted an earlier tweet where the AIMIM had acted to prevent a similar sort of lapse from happening:
Effectively all parties that are campaigning in the poll-bound state have alleged back-end nexuses between each other.
