The statement of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has now come to the fore on the bumper victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Asaduddin Owaisi said about the election results of UP that 80-20 politics has become successful here.
Owaisi said, ‘Political parties are shouting EVMs to hide their failure. I have been saying since 2019 that it is not EVM’s fault but a chip has been put in people’s mind, it is their fault. Success has happened but this success is 80-20 success.
Owaisi further said that minorities in Uttar Pradesh have been used only as vote banks. BJP won in Lakhimpur Kheri also, so I am saying it is 80-20 victory. This 80-20 condition will remain for years. People need to understand that… our spirits are still high.
At the same time, on the performance of his own party in UP, Owaisi said that the people of UP have decided to give power to BJP. I respect the decision of the people. I thank the state presidents, workers, members and people of AIMIM who voted for us. Our efforts were substantial, but the results did not meet our expectations. We will work hard again.
Asaduddin Owaisi’s party has been badly rejected by the public in the UP assembly elections. In the results so far, most of the candidates of AIMIM have not been able to cross even the five thousand votes mark. AIMIM fielded around 100 candidates in the UP elections. The party had claimed that 25-30 of its candidates could win. But the claims turned out to be hollow and the party’s security was badly forfeited and the account was not even opened.
Owaisi further said that minorities in Uttar Pradesh have been used only as vote banks. BJP won in Lakhimpur Kheri also, so I am saying it is 80-20 victory. This 80-20 condition will remain for years. People need to understand that… our spirits are still high.
