Regarding the coming elections, Owaisi expressed confidence in the BRS party’s ability to secure victory without the need for external support.
He urged voters in nine constituencies to choose AIMIM candidates and emphasized the importance of peace and harmony in Telangana, attributing it to the BRS party’s governance.
