All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday ridiculed the Congress party saying that after the Maharashtra assembly elections, it has brought about the 'Bharat Political Marriage Act' and married the Shiv Sena.

'BJP has taken divorce from Shiv Sena'

During a public meeting for the municipal elections in Nirmal town in Telangana, Owaisi in a satirical tone said, "After the recent Maharashtra state elections, the Congress Party has brought a new law  - the Bharat Political Marriage Act. Through this Act, it has married the Shiv Sena." Owaisi said that after this marriage, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has done 'chauthi' (a ritual in marriage) with the Shiv Sena and made Uddhav Thackeray, the 'groom'.

Owaisi slams Congress for making personal comments

Asaduddin Owaisi, while speaking at a public gathering in Kamareddy district of Telangana, slammed the Congress for making personal comments about him and his family.
