Urging the people of Uttar Pradesh to vote for the AIMIM candidates, Asaduddin Owaisi said though his party has just seven legislators in Telangana, he has ensured that the state government opened 70 residential schools for Muslims to study.

Asaduddin Owaisi, who respresents Hyderabad in the Parliament, has fielded AIMIM candidates for the first time in Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. The AIMIM had earlier participated in local elections and won seats.
While attacking the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and Samajwdai Party (SP) in his soppech Owaisi claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav were hand in glove with each other against the Muslims, and also termed Akhilesh Yadav "an anti-Muslim leader".
Referring to a statement of former Samajwadi Party President Mulayam Singh Yadav in which he had publicly said that his son and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav was anti-Muslim, Owaisi said that "people have to decide whom to believe when a father has said so about his own son".
The AIMIM, originally based in Hyderabad, also contested state polls in Maharashtra and Bihar. While the party won two seats in Maharashtra, it could not garner support for the party candidates in Bihar.
Owaisi however is criss-crossing Uttar Pradesh and addressing rallies almost on daily basis to win support of the people. His rallies are attended by large number of people. But, results on March 11 will only show if the crowd in his rallies is converted into votes.
