Asaduddin Owaisi Meets Popular Muslim Cleric, Says Will Fight Bengal Polls

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi's hush-hush visit to Bengal's Hooghly district has triggered more speculation over his political plans for a state due to hold Assembly elections in April-May. During his visit Mr Owaisi met Abbas Siddiqui at Furfura Sharif, a place of religious significance for Bengali Muslims, and asked him to be the face of his party's campaign in the state. Mr Siddiqui, who has been openly critical of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, had earlier claimed the ruling Trinamool exploited the Muslim population for votes.
