HYDERABAD: MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold early general elections -- othewise to be held in 2019 -- and said people were "ready to teach him and his BJP a lesson". "I ask -- why did they not send people who committed fraud on the country and looted the public money from banks? The beauty of India is that it emerges from the merger of all colours -- be it saffron, green, white or black. "I challenge the two parties to pick up the strongest candidates -- not jokers -- to fight from Hyderabad. "They also remained silent when the Babri Masjid was demolished," Owaisi charged.
