With BJP and INDIA alliance fighting against each other, there has one of the few men who haven't chosen to be part of any of the alliances and that man is none other than All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
Now Osaisi has challenged Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to contest elections from Hyderabad and not Wayanad in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.
The AIMIM MP was addressing a public gathering in his parliamentary constituency, Hyderabad.
Mr Owaisi said that the Babri Masjid, in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, was demolished under the regime of the grand old party.
"I am challenging your leader (Rahul Gandhi) to contest elections from Hyderabad and not Wayanad. You keep giving big statements, come to the ground and fight against me. People from Congress will say a lot of things, but I am ready...Babri Masjid and Secretariat's mosque were demolished under the Congress regime..." he said.
The Congress and AIMIM are at loggerheads in Telangana as both parties are slugging it out to reach the helm in the upcoming state's Assembly elections, which are scheduled to be held later this year.
Earlier this month, Rahul Gandhi while speaking at Vijayabheri Sabha in Telangana's Tukkuguda, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bharat Rashtra Samithi, and AIMIM are working in unison in Telangana and that his party is fighting against this troika.
