AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi accuses Telangana Congress Chief Revanth Reddy of harboring bias against those with beards and skull caps, labeling him an RSS sympathizer. The verbal clash intensifies before the state's November 30 Assembly Elections, adding complexity to the political landscape, shaping the narrative for the impending polls.

In
a recent altercation in Telangana politics, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi
accused Telangana Congress Chief Revanth Reddy of harboring disdain for
individuals sporting beards and skull caps. Owaisi labeled Reddy an RSS
sympathizer during an interview with ANI, emphasizing Reddy's alleged bias
against such appearances.
Accusing
Reddy of having RSS affiliations, Owaisi claimed, "He (Revanth Reddy) is
an RSS person, and he will be an RSS person. He hates people who have beards
and wear skull caps."
Continuing
his critique, Owaisi referred to Reddy as "RSS Anna," tracing his
political trajectory from RSS to ABVP, Telugu Desam, and ultimately landing in
Congress. He asserted that the influence of Mohan Bhagwat, the head of RSS, can
be witnessed in the operations of the Congress headquarters in Hyderabad.
Reddy's recent jibe against Owaisi, insinuating the latter wears khaki knickers under his sherwani, added fuel to their ongoing political clash.

Amidst
these verbal volleys, Telangana braces for Assembly Elections on November 30,
with the counting set for December 3. The state anticipates a fierce contest
between BJP, BRS (earlier known as TRS), and Congress. In the previous 2018
elections, BRS (formerly TRS) secured a substantial victory, claiming 88 out of
119 seats, commanding 47.4 percent of the total vote share.
This
intensifying political spat between Owaisi and Reddy adds complexity to the
upcoming elections in Telangana, shaping the narrative ahead of the crucial
polling day.
