Bengal Assembly Election 2026: Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), has blasted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for releasing the party’s manifesto in Urdu language. In another development, Mamata has expressed confidence that votes in the state would not be divided. Mamata remarked that BJP would capture West Bengal if people decide to vote in their favour.
Many political experts in the country believe that Mamata’s party would face stiff competition from BJP and AIMIM this time.
Asaduddin Owaisi Reaction
Owaisi remarked that Mamata has a double-face and her party has not done anything for the betterment of Muslims in the state. Owaisi remarked that Mamata operates with a dual face towards the Muslim community members in the state.
The AIMIM Chief added the TMC has released its manifesto in Urdu but has never paid heed to the plight of Muslims in the state’s government sector. Owaisi remarked that the Muslims presently occupy approximately 29 percent of the state’s population yet only 7 percent are serving in government jobs.

Owaisi claimed that the Muslim community members stay in acute poverty in areas like Murshidabad and Malda. The AIMIM Chief also said a significant majority of Muslim girls in the state have low literacy rates while the highest school dropout rate is among Muslims in the state of West Bengal.

He went on to claim that five lakh Other Backward Classes (OBC) certificates were cancelled last year by the Calcutta High Court and approximately 3 lakhs of them were from the Muslim community.
