BJP refuses to even mention word ‘minorities’ in its manifesto, says AIMIM chief Owaisi
New Delhi: Alleging that the BJP has hatred towards minorities, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said the saffron party even refused to mention the word ''minorities'' in its manifesto, instead saying it as ''marginalised''.
Owaisis said AIMIM's alliance in Uttar Pradesh with Anupriya Patel's Apna Dal (K) will continue even in the Assembly polls and the party will support Prakash Ambedkar in Akola and Anand Ambedkar in Amaravati in Maharashtra.
''They have not mentioned the word minorities. They say scholarships will be given to marginalised communities,'' he said.
He claimed that there are highest number of school dropouts among Dalits and Muslims and that the BJP has deliberately ensured that the dropout rate is increased in the Muslim community.
Alleging that there is a high unemployment rate in the country due to lack of jobs, increased hatred towards minorities and that there is a threat to the Constitution, the Hyderabad Lok Sabha member appealed to people to keep in mind the issues before they vote for any party.
Owaisi said the BJP might talk about making the country the third-largest economy in the world, but one has to consider the per capita income when it comes to growth.
