Owaisi rubs salt in Ghulam Nabi Azad's wounds as Rahul accuses him of colluding with BJP

On Monday, AIMIM chief Asuddin Owaisi took a swipe at  Rajya Sabha MP Ghulam Nabi Az after latter offered to resign from Congress, following Rahul Gandhi's remark. Congress chief Rahul Gandhi levelled a massive allegations during CWC meeting where he said that dissenting party members who wrote letter asking Sonia Gandhi to step down as interim president are "in cahoots with BJP".

Taking to Twitter, Owaisi took a dig at Az over apparent 'slavery' with party for 45 years. Furr taking an apparent jibe at Rahul Gandhi, Owaisi said that anyone opposing 'Janeudhari leership' will be branded B-Team. His reference is to being termed as BJP's B-team for years.

Rahul Gandhi and Congress have since attempted a u-turn, seemingly apologising to Kapil Sibal, and attempting to blame media.
