Owaisi’s remarks on an ‘Abdul’ becoming CM draw sharp response; BJP tells him to stop inciting Muslims

Ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has stirred up the political landscape with a recent statement. Owaisi questioned why ‘Abdul’—a reference to the Muslim community—should be limited to roles like repairing punctures; he argued that a Muslim could also become a Chief Minister. Following these remarks, both the BJP and the Congress have targeted him. The BJP accused Owaisi of inciting the Muslim community, while the Congress remarked that Owaisi’s statements always end up benefiting the BJP.
