Owaisi Tells Minority Voters to Reject Legacy Leaders

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi, campaigning in Azamgarh ahead of Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, urged minority voters to reject dependence on legacy figures, saying "we no longer need a Gandhi or a Nehru." He accused mainstream parties, including Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party, of treating minority leaders as token vote-getters, and cited his 2024 Parliament objections to the Election Commissioners appointment law.
