AIMIM will contest in Rajasthan with full strength: Owaisi

He said that his fight was not for coming to power but for building political leadership for which his party has come to Rajasthan.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday said that his party will fight the Rajasthan assembly election due in December 2023 with all its strength and ruled out any alliance with the ruling Congress in the state.

He said that the party will form a core committee in the state that will work to build the organisation at all levels.

The Hyderabad MP said the party will decide on any alliance at the right time after considering the circumstances.

“We have decided to form a core committee of the party in Rajasthan. It will work to strengthen the organisation. We will fight the next assembly election with full strength.”

"The party, if needed, will go for an alliance at the right time but it will not be with the Congress or the BJP,” Mr. Owaisi told reporters here.

He said that his fight was not for coming to power but for building political leadership for which his party has come to Rajasthan.

On the Congress' charge that the AIMIM works as a ''B-team" of the BJP, Mr. Owaisi said, ''Such allegations reflect the frustration of Congress leaders and nothing else.'' Replying to a question on the demand for a survey of Ajmer Dargah, Mr. Owaisi said that under the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, one cannot change the nature or the character of any temple or mosque.
