'Taj Mahal responsible for petrol price hike! Akbar for unemployment!', Asaduddin Owaisi's jibe at PM Modi

After this, the AIMIM chief said, "If he had not built the Taj Mahal, then today petrol would have been sold at Rs 40 per litre. Mr. Prime Minister, I agree that he (Shah Jahan) made a mistake by building the Taj Mahal. He made a mistake in building the Red Fort. He should have saved the money and handed it over to Modi in 2014. On all issues, they (BJP) blame Muslims, they blame the Mughals."

"Is it only the Mughals who ruled India? What about Ashok? Chandragupta Maurya? But the BJP can only see Mughals. They see the Mughals with one eye and Pakistan with the other." Owaisi also said, "We love India. No matter how many slogans you raise, we will not leave India. We'll stay here, we'll die here."
