AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who is frequently said to represent the political face of Muslims in India, is in an important phase in his career, today addressed a rally where he said India’s first Muslim prime minister will be a woman in a hijab.

The four-time MP Owaisi is running for office in the Hyderabad constituency in the next fourth round of voting, which ends on May 13. His party has assembled an alliance of Muslims, lower economic strata, and other marginalized groups.

Although this group is not a part of the opposition INDIA alliance, it is fighting hard against the BJP-led NDA. A minor party facing a large nationalist coalition. They got in touch with Owaisi to discuss a variety of themes, including the future of his party, the crucial concerns in this election, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s anti-Muslim remarks. To make it clearer and more concise, this interview has been edited.

So, they are members of the unique Dalit and Muslim organisation PDM Nyay Morcha in Uttar Pradesh, which is led by Pallavi Patel of Apna Dal (Kamerawadi). As you correctly pointed out, they are contesting in Bihar, but you also need to include Jharkhand, where they will likely run for one or two seats. They have every confidence that Mr. Akhtar Akhtarul Iman, the MLA and president of our party in Bihar, would be elected.

On May 13, Hyderabad and Aurangabad will go to polls, and they are sure that they will keep up our winning streak, he added. Asaduddin Owaisi aslo said he will campaign in the remaining Maharashtra, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh Parliament segments and do everything in our power to help their candidates win.

He said, hopefully, it will be in the form of a woman wearing a hijab and heading this great nation. Owaisi said this time will come. That day will come, even though he might not be around to witness it, he added.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today hold roadshow in Patna. The next day, he will address at three different electoral rallies in Bihar.

The prime minister’s first official visit to the state capital since the historic Gandhi Maidan event in March 2009 is this one. A few years ago, he paid an official visit to this place for an event organized by the Bihar Assembly.

All around the city, there are foolproof security systems in place. Senior Superintendent of Police Rajeev Mishra declared that driving on the roadshow route will be banned and that drone flying will be strictly prohibited in all localities.

The roadshow will go through populated areas like Fraser Road, Exhibition Road, Kadam Kuan, and Sahitya Sammelan before ending at Udyog Bhavan near Gandhi Maidan. It will start at the Income Tax office roundabout, which is a few hundred meters from the state BJP headquarters.

Along the route, barricades have been up on both sides of the road, and businesses, which are numerous, are probably going to stay closed. The SSP has also announced that personnel would be stationed on the rooftops of numerous buildings to maintain a close watch.

Just one day before the fourth round of voting in the state, with three more to go, the prime minister’s blitzkrieg has the BJP, as expected, thrilled. There have been billboards and posters up at several locations asking people to attend The Modi Show.

The city’s residents are renowned for their deep love for the prime minister. We ask people to show their appreciation by putting flowers on their doors to welcome PM Modi, who is the first to tour Bihar, said local BJP MP and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who is running for reelection from the Patna Sahib seat.

Late on Saturday night, Prasad went door-to-door with state BJP president Samrat Choudhary and Bihar’s deputy chief minister, among others, to assess the level of preparation for the roadshow.

Actor Allu Arjun and MLA Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) have been accused for allegedly breaking the Model Code of Conduct in Andhra Pradesh Nandyala. In the days leading up to the Andhra Pradesh elections, they were charged with violating the Model Code of Conduct by permitting a sizable public assembly to take place in the MLA’s house.

A case has been filed against MLA Reddy and Allu Arjun for violating the poll code after it was alleged that they invited the latter to the meeting on Saturday without first obtaining permission.

In Andhra Pradesh, a FIR was filed for allegedly breaking Section 144, just as the state prepared for Monday’s (May 13) elections.

Deputy Tehsildar P Ramachandra Rao of Nandyala Rural, who is in charge of managing elections in the Nandyala seat in Andhra Pradesh, filed the case.

Allu Arjun stated earlier on Saturday that he went to Nandyala to support his friend and is not a political party supporter, following his meeting with Reddy at his home in front of a sizable crowd of fans.

The Pushpa actor said, he came here on his own. Among his friends, in whichever field they are in, he will step up and help them if they need his help. It doesn’t mean he is backing or supporting any political party, said Allu Arjun.

Meanwhile, Ram Charan faced difficulties entering the Pithapuram, Rajahmundry temple premises due to a horde of devoted admirers. As his security cover made a valiant effort to make space for him, he was observed gesturing at spectators and asking them to move aside.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Allu’s Pushpa: The Rule in August 15. The film also stars Fahadh Faasil, Rashmika Mandanna, Dhananjay, Rao Ramesh among others and marks the sequel of the widely popular Pushpa: The Rise. The first song from the album was released a few days ago.
