He warns Muslim voters to build their own leaders

Asaduddin Owaisi urged that West Bengal’s election mandate must be respected, arguing the BJP’s momentum cannot be dismissed by “secular parties” that he says failed to check it. He pointed to the BJP’s strong win and called on the Muslim community to focus on cultivating and backing its own political leaders rather than relying on traditional alliances.
