All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) is no longer Jayalalithaa s party, and has unfortunately turned into Prime Minister Narendra Modi s slave, said All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday. AIADMK is no longer Madam Jayalalithaa s party as she always kept her party away from BJP. Unfortunately, AIADMK has turned into Narendra Modi s slave now, said the AIMIM chief at a public rally in Chennai. Defending his party s alliance with TTV Dhinakaran s Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) for Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, Owaisi attacked the main opposition Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and raised questions on its alliance with Congress.

At an India Today media conclave in early 2018, Sonia Gandhi made a rather candid confession: the BJP, she said, had managed to convince many people that the Congress is a ‘Muslim party’. The Congress president’s remarks, in a sense, were a tacit admission that Nehruvian secularism had failed to combat the rising tide of political Hindutva. Her words were also echoing the party’s Antony committee report, drafted in the aftermath of the 2014 election debacle but never made public, that the Congress was seen as ‘pro-Muslim’ and ‘anti-Hindu’. Three years later, as we enter another election season, the Congress’s predicament is even more stark: the party’s secular identity is once again being questioned as it is accused of openly aligning with ‘Muslim’ parties.
