Kolkata: While the head of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi is the leader of a regional party, his statements compel his opponents to take Owaisi seriously. In Indian politics, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) takes Owaisi most seriously. Now Mamta Banerjee is also seen getting entangled in this trap.
On the lines of the BJP, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo and the West Bengal CM have also found their way to give price to Owaisi. That is why at a meeting of TMC workers in Cooch Behar on 19 November, without naming Owaisi, Mamata Banerjee said, 'I see that the fundamentalists are from Hyderabad, they are behaving like BJP's B team'.

This means that while Mamata is facing a challenge from BJP-A in West Bengal, she is also worried about the impact of BJP-B. He can see that if Owaisi manages to make even a slight dent in his Muslim vote bank, the Trinamool will have to bear the loss. That is why she wants to warn Owaisi of Muslims who support her, by calling her a fanatic.
