Asaduddin Owaisi had visited West Bengal on January 3 to meet Abbas Siddiqui and had said that the TMC should introspect and find out what worked in BJP's favour in the state during the 2019 Lok Sabha election in which it won 18 of the 42 seats.

Senior TMC leader Sougata Roy said, “The AIMIM is nothing but a proxy of BJP. Owaisi is well aware that Muslims here are mostly Bengali-speaking and won't support him. In Bengal, Muslims stand firmly with Mamata Banerjee.”
