The decision of Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen to contest merely nine seats in the home State of Telangana has set off a war of words between the AIMIM and the Congress.Holding a rally in Hyderabad on Tuesday, Owaisi got personal and targeted Rahul Gandhi for not getting married. Without taking his name, Owaisi said one should never stay single in this world because who remains single keeps venting out their frustration on others.

Telangana Assembly, which has 130 seats, goes to polls on November 30 with Owaisi’s party contesting less than 7 per cent seats.
