Now Asaduddin Owaisi will also recite Hanuman Chalisa: BJP's Kapil Mishra

New Delhi/IBNS: Not taking a break from attacking the Opposition ahead of the Delhi assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra on Tuesday said AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi will also now recite Hindu devotional hymn Hanuman Chalisa, referring to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's similar act a day ago on television.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Kejriwal during a live television show on Monday recited Hanuman Chalisa describing himself as a "Hanuman bhakt".

Taking a dig at the AAP chief, Mishra, the BJP candidate from Model Town constituency, tweeted, "Kejriwal has started chanting Hanuman Chalisa. Now Owaisi will also do so. This is the strength of our unity. We should remain united like this. We should vote unitedly. With our unity, we will dig grave of the dirty politics for that "20 per cent vote bank"."

Just a day ago, Mishra stirred a controversy by saying the AAP should be renamed as Muslim League.

In a tweet, Mishra said in Hindi, "The new name of Aam Aadmi Party should be Muslim League. People who consider Umar Khalid, Afzal Guru, Burhan Wani, terrorists as their bosses are fearing Yogi Adityanath."

Mishra was earlier banned from campaigning after he compared the Delhi polls with a contest between India and Pakistan.

He had also accused the AAP of creating Shaheen Bagh-like "mini Pakistans" in the national capital.

Delhi's Shaheen Bagh is the site where several Muslim women and men are protesting against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which aims to grant citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain,Parsi but not Muslim refugees who came to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before 2015, for more than a month.

Delhi will go to polls on Feb 8 and the votes will be counted on 11th of the same month.
