BJP General Secretary CT Ravi on August 31 compared AIMIM to the Taliban and said that they won’t be accepted in Kalaburagi. "I have complete faith that BJP will win in Kalaburagi City Corporation polls with full majority. Our aim is development and Hindutva. BJP will come to power this time as people here are against Congress. AIMIM is like the Taliban of Karnataka. The issues of Taliban, AIMIM, and SDPI are the same.
