Congress heavyweight Gaurav Bhatia dropped a bombshell accusation against Asaduddin Owaisi, labeling him a Hindu-hater with zero interest in advancing the Muslim community. This verbal showdown highlights the raw undercurrents of India’s cutthroat political arena.
During a charged address, Bhatia dissected Owaisi’s political playbook. He claimed the Hyderabad MP prioritizes inflammatory rhetoric over substantive welfare for Muslims. ‘Hatred for Hindus is his currency, but where’s the roadmap for Muslim empowerment?’ Bhatia questioned, rallying supporters.
Bhatia delved into specifics, citing Owaisi’s outbursts against Hindu traditions while overlooking Muslim youth unemployment and low literacy rates. He urged Owaisi to channel energy into advocating for government schemes like scholarships and vocational training for minorities.
This isn’t isolated rhetoric. Owaisi’s history of provocative statements on issues like CAA and Ram Temple has long irked nationalist leaders. Bhatia framed it as a pattern: exploit communal divides for votes, neglect community upliftment.
Reactions poured in swiftly. BJP echoed Bhatia’s sentiments, while AIMIM dismissed it as ‘Sanghi propaganda.’ Social media erupted with memes and debates, amplifying the controversy.
As polls loom, this spat could sway undecided voters in key states. Bhatia’s aggressive posture signals Congress’s pivot towards assertive Hindutva critique of rivals. For Muslims, the question lingers: is fiery oratory enough, or do they deserve leaders focused on tangible gains?
In the end, Bhatia’s salvo challenges Owaisi to prove his commitment beyond the stump speeches, pushing for politics rooted in progress over prejudice.
