AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has responded to the recent Maharashtra civic poll results, including those from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). He firmly dismissed allegations that his party's successes are a result of mere political "luck" or any clandestine proximity to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Owaisi emphasized that the victories are a testament to the hard work and dedication of his party members, who resonate with the electorate's aspirations for inclusive representation.
Owaisi also addressed the ongoing discourse around his aspirations for the Prime Minister's office, particularly in the context of his stance on issues like the hijab. He clarified that while he dreams of a nation where every citizen's rights are upheld, including the right to religious expression, his primary focus remains on empowering minorities and ensuring their voices are heard within the political landscape. The AIMIM leader underscored the importance of minority politics as a vehicle for achieving genuine equality and justice.
Regarding the speculation about the BMC mayoral race, Owaisi refrained from making any definitive statements but reiterated his party's commitment to prioritizing the needs of the marginalized. He expressed hope that the recent electoral gains would pave the way for more significant reforms in urban governance. Owaisi concluded by calling for a collaborative approach to politics, where diverse voices contribute to shaping the future of cities like Mumbai and beyond.
