“I believe Akhilesh Yadav is the weakest leader. He has failed to win any election for his party after 2017. In fact, the performance had deteriorated,” Owaisi said.
“Muslims of Uttar Pradesh is not with Akhilesh this election. He only believes in dynasty politics,” the Hyderabad MP said.
Owaisi refused to call the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections as bipolar, saying that people of the state are miffed with the Yogi Adityanath government over several issues.
“This is not a bipolar election. BJP is facing huge anti-incumbency. Unemployment, Covid second wave mismanagement are the biggest issues. Even farmers are angry, people from the minority section are angry with the BJP,” Owaisi said.
Owaisi went on to add that his AIMIM, which is a part of an alliance between other smaller parties – Bhagidari Parivartan Morcha, will perform better than 2017 in UP.
