TS Cong chief questions Owaisi share in KCR family’s Rs 1L-cr loot

Hyderabad: Telangana Congress chief A Revanth Reddy has come down heavily on MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi describing him as another Nizam.

Revanth Reddy also claimed that the Owaisi family is not from Hyderabad but came to the city from Maharashtra. “There is another Nizam who lives on Shastripuram hillock. He says Hyderabad is our city but they actually came from Sholapur, Maharashtra,” the Congress leader said in what is seen as the first direct attack on the Hyderabad MP ahead of the Assembly polls.

The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president went on to say that this time Congress will defeat Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM).

Addressing a rally at Necklace Road in Hyderabad on Thursday night, he questioned Owaisi over his support to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. MIM, which is a key political force in Hyderabad, has been backing KCR since the formation of Telangana state.
