In a scathing analysis of India's political landscape, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has challenged the notion that his campaigns draw votes away from anti-BJP forces. He asserts that the BJP's consistency in winning elections stems from the opposition's inability to present a viable alternative and their neglect of minorities.

Owaisi, leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, countered criticism of his political reach beyond Hyderabad by accusing opposition parties of taking Muslim support for granted. He emphasized the scant representation of Muslims in India's legislative bodies despite making up a significant portion of the population.

Calling for greater Muslim participation in politics, Owaisi lamented that despite being the largest minority, Muslims are largely sidelined. He urged political entities to cease treating them merely as vote banks and to work towards their empowerment and fair representation in society.
