Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on November 25 indirectly referred to All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi without taking his name and called him a "belagam saand" (unbridled bull) and his party as the B team of the BJP. Tikait said at a public rally or Maha Dharna in Hyderabad, “In Hyderabad, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait says, "You have an unbridled bull here who's helping BJP. Tie him down here itself. He helps BJP the most. Don't let him out of here. He says something else but has some other goal. Don't let him go out of Hyderabad & Telangana...” he added.
