Hitting out at the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen's (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday said if Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Congress, CPM and TMC can hold a rally in the poll-bound state then why cannot his party do the same. He further alleged that TMC practices hypocrisy as the party acts differently in Delhi and West Bengal. With this rally, Owaisi was to kickstart his party's campaign ahead of Bengal Assembly polls. It is noteworthy to mention that West Bengal is a key state for the AIMIM as the party has stretched its wings in eastern India after bagging five seats in Bihar. The Assembly election for 294 Assembly seats in West Bengal is likely to take place in April-May.
