‘Taj Mahal responsible for hike in petrol prices! Akbar for unemployment!’: Owaisi

Had Emperor Shah Jahan not built the Taj Mahal, the price of petrol in the country would have been Rs 40! Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi commented in this language targeting the Modi government. Targeting the Modi government, Owaisi said, ‘The youth of the country are unemployed. Inflation is increasing. Diesel is Rs 102 per litre. In fact, Aurangzeb is responsible for all this, not the Prime Minister. Emperor Akbar is responsible for unemployment. Petrol is being sold at Rs 104 per litre. The person who built the Taj Mahal is responsible for this.”

The AIMIM chief then said, “If he had not built the Taj Mahal, today petrol would have been sold at Rs 40 per litre. Prime Minister, I believe he (Shah Jahan) made a mistake by building the building. Taj Mahal. He built the Red Fort.” Made a mistake in construction. They should have saved the money and handed it over to Modi in 2014. On all issues, they (BJP) blame Muslims, they blame Mughals.

“Did only the Mughals rule India? What about Ashoka? Chandragupta Maurya? But the BJP can only see the Mughals. They see the Mughals with one eye and Pakistan with the other.” Owaisi also said, “We love India. No matter how many slogans you raise, we will not leave India. We will stay here, we will die here.”
