I can't understand what's his strategy? He requested people to defeat MGB candidates that means indirectly support to the contrary groups. In elections every vote matters & i hv seen in MP elections on almost 15-20 seats winning margin was 500-2k votes. https://indianexpress.com/elections/defeat-mahagathbandhan-asaduddin-owaisi-draws-thousands-in-kishanganjs-kochadhaman-6908918/lite/

This way he is sabotaging chances of the MGB candidates, i said what i said. I am not cynical but here I have become cynical after reading this.

Cutting votes of deserving candidates. You have right to contest from anywhere but if your vote share can make difference (even on few seats) and change election results then you're playing in the hand of ruling regime.

During 2014 Maharashtra assembly trust votes AIMIM MLA's were absent in that process then Devendra fadnavis won the trust vote and AIMIM MLAs helped him by being absent. You can not draw any another parallel from this, either you vote against it or not.
