Claiming that the Congress party is going to form the next government in Karnataka soon, the senior party leader Engineer Mohammed Aslam, said, “The way the personality of Rahul Gandhi has improved and refined during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, indeed it will leave a significant impact especially on southern states like Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.”
During an interview to a news channel on Saturday, Engineer Aslam said “It was when the decisions and bills are getting approved one after another without listening to the elected members of the opposition, the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has decided to go to the people through the yatra.”
“We are with the people at every knock and corner of the country to raise voices against the inflation, unemployment and the depleting economy in the country under BJP rule,” he said adding that “The yatra is a result of Rahul Gandhi’s resolve to protect this country from slipping into an economic doom.”
When asked about AIMIM party’s campaigning in North Indian states and trying to gain the grounds especially in Bihar, Aslam, who is hailing from Kishanganj area of Bihar, said, “I do not believe that AIMIM is gaining the ground in Bihar.”
“Let us talk about the number of MLAs they have?” he said, adding that “Demographically, Bihar forms a secular environment and the leaders returned back from AIMIM’s fold come from secular areas. They were stirred from the pack under the influence of a political wave but now they are back where they belong too. Congress too carries secularism in its DNA and the blood.”
When asked whether AIMIM is a secular party or not, Engineer Aslam said, “In my definition, parties who create rifts and spread temptation through their rhetoric are not secular.”
“BJP uses Asad Owaisi media briefings and provides media platforms to consolidate its stand and position among voters simply by polarising the society and here the AIMIM proved wrong,” contended Aslam.
