Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday congratulated Janata Dal (Secular) leader H. D. Kumaraswamy on his party’s ‘victory’.
In a series of tweets, Mr. Owaisi said he spoke to Mr. Kumaraswamy and wished that he would discharge his constitutional duties better than his predecessors. He said he hoped that Karnataka would progress under his leadership.
Mr. Owaisi said there had been a drop in Muslim representation in the State. “The Karnataka Assembly results have brought down Muslim representation in the Assembly and this should be a cause of concern for every political party which believes in diversity and pluralism,” he tweeted.
The Hyderabad parliamentarian also thanked his party workers.
