OK, we just heard Navneet Rana and the day that she has thrown at the Owaisi brothers, now AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has porten an exclusively to CNN News 18. In fact, he has head back. Let’s just listen now to what he had to say at BJPS, Amravati candidates remark. I believe an independent MP who joined the BJP came here and said to your brother by taking his name specifically that Pandhra Secondedo Dikhadenge Khan hai or Kon Nahi. So I’m telling you on record, Mr. Modi is the Prime Minister. You are in power in so many states. You have all the resources at your hand. Let the Prime Minister give. Give them one hour. Whatever they want to do it. Please do it. You want to make us like Jews in Germany? Please do it. You want to take us to gas chambers? Please do it. You know you want to throw. You know put us in and and I in prison. Please do it. But tell us the place and time will come. I’ll tell all the people to join will come and you want one hour will stand. Do it whatever you want. Why 15 seconds will give you one hour. But at least tell the time in place will come. But this rhetoric does not worry you. No, no, no. See this is see I am telling them you won’t do it now please tell us the time and the place will come. I’ll come. I’ll come with my family. If not with the people, do it. But this rhetoric does not worry you. No, no. If it satisfies their sadistic, if it gives them sadistic pleasure, OK, do it. We are willing to die. What? What is it? What is it that you want to do by 15 seconds? Take, you know, one hour, 15 hours. Where is this? Sabka SA sabka Vikas, Where is what is the Election Commission of India doing? What is the local police doing? Nothing is happening. I mean where is the model code of conduct? It is now a Modi code of conduct under which everyone can say whatever nonsense they want. But I’m willing, please take you want action to be taken against this MP. Right now when we are speaking, the country is being run by Election Commission of India. Everything is under the control, correct? They are even minutely watching. Whatever, I’m speaking to you now. If someone at us in this way, this language is used. I hope the ECI would react. I don’t know. But if the leader says this thing, I want them to tell the Prime Minister. Let the Prime Minister say, I will give, we will take one hour. OK, take it. May be this will be the Kristallnacht movement of India. We do not know. Vinaya joins us now for the latest. On this Vinaya, I just heard what Asaduddin Owaisi had to say, questioning the police, questioning the Election Commission and the model code of conduct. But the question is that it was, you know, Navreet Rana was invoking Akbaruddin Owaisi’s 2013 controversial remarks. Those same questions can be asked to him as well. That minor action should be taken against your younger brother. He was the one who made those controversial remarks. He is the one who is inciting people. He is the one who said that, you know, if you remove the police in 15 seconds, we are going to finish all the people and just you see what Muslims can do. So those questions can also be asked to the AIMIMMP from Hyderabad as well. Well, absolutely. 2 remarks which were made around nine years ago. You know, they are being raked at a time when elections are going on. Clearly at a time when elections go on avantika, you know, we see that whichever political party uses whatever ammunition it has in its Kitty in order to make sure that it grabs peoples attentions on the issues that it has. So the BJP is sitting. MP Navneet Rana thought that these remarks, which were made by the Owaisi brothers nine years ago, still ring up and that this will still store the electorate. That is, That is something that she seems to have used. Navneet Rana, not new to controversies. Navneet Rana who had been in the eye of the storm previously as well, particularly over the Hanuman Chalisa controversy here in Maharashtra when Udhav Thakre was at the forefront of it. Also at such a juncture, you know, made be Navneet Rana, made be the Owaisi brothers. The fact that such controversial statements do grab attention, do grab eyeballs seems to be something that the politicians seem to have understood and soak. Navdeep Rana again raking a fresh controversy, this time on in Telangana when she had gone for campaigning saying that why 15 minutes, just 15 seconds that we would want and we are seeing the impact thereafter. These remarks have certainly caused a stir and a controversy and we are seeing reactions coming from different sectors, right. She did create a storm in 2022 over that. Hanuma and Chalisa Rao. Tell us a little bit more about this fire brand BJP leader Navneet Rana. You know how candidature has also caused quite a flutter in Maharashtra politics. You in fact have been tracking her entire election journey for quite some time and now shes coming down very heavily on the Vesi brothers in Telangana as well. Well Avantika, yes, she is someone who has caused a lot of controversy. An actor who has come, who came into politics, who was previously supported by Sharad Pawar. Sharad Pawar who recently went to Amravati before Amravati went to polls and publicly apologized to people saying that his choice last time on was wrong and that Navneet Rana thereafter, this time on. Last time she fought as an independent, but then we saw that she ended up supporting the BJP. This time on, she formally became a part of the BJP and the ticket was given to her much against the wishes of the local allies as well. The controversy around her name is not just with respect to Hanuman Chalisa but with respect to her political journey as well in Amravati. The AIMIM here, while hitting back at her has also retorted about how Navneet Rana is not confident of winning Amravati this time on and that is why it is this uncertainty that makes her give such kind of statements that are completely off the cuff. So clearly Navneet Rana has not been new to controversy. The controversies are not just because of the issues she has taken up, but also because of her political journey where she has been with a political dispensation previously and has changed thereafter. Previously when she was an independent, she was supported by the Sharad Pawar group, brought on board and thereafter now she is with the BJP and at that time she had defeated Anandra Adsul who was extremely upset this time around. But the BJP is now banking on Navneet Rana and hoping of bagging that crucial Amravati Lok Sabha seat Vinaya. Thanks so much for joining us. Quick break right here on the broadcast, a tune. I’ll be back with lots more.
