During a campaign in Assam, Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM chief) defended his party's collaboration with the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), highlighting the discrimination faced by Muslims in the state. He accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of fostering an environment of hate speech and political marginalization, particularly regarding the National Register of Citizens (NRC), where he claimed around 20 lakh people were excluded, with a disproportionate impact on Muslims. Owaisi criticized the Congress party for historically using Muslims as a vote bank without addressing their issues, while also rejecting the notion that the Congress and AIUDF divide Muslim votes, referencing their successful alliance in the last Assam Assembly election. In West Bengal, he expressed concern over the political situation, criticizing Mamata Banerjee for her legal approach to Muslim issues and drawing parallels between her and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stances. Owaisi also voiced apprehensions about international tensions affecting India's gas supply and questioned the timing of proposed constitutional amendments amid elections, advocating for thorough legislative review.
