"KCR Has Done Something Worthwhile...": Asaduddin Owaisi's Praise In Bihar
NDTV
The AIMIM had won five seats in the Bihar assembly polls of 2020 and four of its MLAs joined the RJD last year.
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi showered praise on K Chandrasekhara Rao, the Chief Minister of his home state of Telangana, which is bracing for assembly elections later this year.
The Hyderabad MP was replying to queries from journalists in Bihar's Kishanganj district, before winding up his tour of "Seemanchal", a densely populated but poverty-ridden and flood-prone region of the state.
"I must say KCR has a vision. And he has done something worthwhile during his tenure, so far," said Mr Owaisi on Sunday in reply to a question about Prime Ministerial ambitions of regional satraps like Rao. Mr Owaisi also praised KCR's counterparts in Bihar and West Bengal, Nitish Kumar and Mamata Banerjee, respectively.
"Telangana is a landlocked state. Yet it has a very impressive gross state domestic product. It used to rank the highest in terms of use of pump sets. It is still the second highest producer of fisheries," said the AIMIM Chief, whose party has seven MLAs in the 119-strong assembly.
