Owaisi mocks opposition struggle against BJP poaching

“Shikari naya hai, jal puraana hai,” AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi remarked on Thursday, dismissing opposition claims that external threats drive party defections. The Hyderabad MP targeted the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Trinamool Congress, arguing that these organizations must own their internal failures rather than blaming outside forces for mass exits.

The AIMIM leader took to X to challenge the narrative surrounding recent political departures in Maharashtra and West Bengal. He specifically questioned the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray and the TMC, suggesting that attributing the exodus of members to singular figures or external intimidation is a convenient deflection. Owaisi insisted that the ease with which the BJP attracts seasoned politicians points to deeper institutional cracks that the opposition refuses to address.

His critique arrives amid intensifying instability in Maharashtra. Whispers of an 'Operation Tiger' circulate, with reports alleging that seven of the nine Shiv Sena (UBT) members of parliament are weighing a transition to the Eknath Shinde-led faction. While MLC Chandrakant Raghuvanshi claimed that six MPs have already signaled their allegiance to Shinde, the party leadership has yet to offer formal confirmation. Meanwhile, the TMC faces its own pressures, highlighted by a June 14 incident where 20 rebel MPs petitioned Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to recognize their merger with the Nationalist Congress Party of India. For Owaisi, these events represent a recurring cycle of political mismanagement rather than a sudden change in fortune.
