Hyderabad: Blasting West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee over being denied permission to hold a public meeting, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday said that he will be forced to approach the Election Commission of India (ECI) and lodge complaints against police officers if pushed to it.
“Why were we not allowed to hold a meeting at Metiaburz (in West Bengal)? We will go to Bengal. Our team is working there on the ground, and have identified candidate lists. The Congress made the mistake there too (of cancelling our rallies),” Owaisi warned Banerjee, while addressing a press conference on Thursday.

JAIPUR: After their defeat in Rajasthan Panchayat elections, the Bharatiya Tribal Party (BTP) withdrew its support from the Congress government in the state alleging that the party cheated them.
BTP has taken this decision after Congress and BJP made an independent candidate as the Zilla Pramukh in Dungarpur Zilla Parishad elections. BTP has two MLAs, Rajkumar Rota and Ram Prasad Dindor, in Rajasthan who were supporting the Congress.
BJP s Surya Ahari, who contested the election by filing an independent nomination for the post of district head, won the district chief s post by defeating BTP-backed Parvati by one vote with the support of the Congress.
