BENGALURU: Post grand announcement on contesting the Assembly elections in Karnataka, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asadudin Owaisi has now said that the party is “yet to decide” if it will contest the polls.

A crucial meeting scheduled on April 10 in Hyderabad will take this decision.

According to a TNIE report, Usman Ghani -- Karnataka state chief of AIMIM -- said “I have been called for a meeting on Tuesday. A decision on whether we are contesting and for how many seats will be taken.” Usman had previously claimed that the party will contest in at least 60 seats across the state.

Owaisi had confidently declared that his party will contest the May 12 Assembly polls in Karnataka. His statements had led Congress leaders in the state to term him BJP’s plant to divide minority community votes.
