"If BJP comes to power, I assure you Owaisi will have to flee from Telangana the same way Nizam was forced to flee from Hyderabad," Adityanath said in Tandur, Vikarabad.
A Owaisi in Hyderabad: Aap tareekh to jaante nahi, history mein zero hain aap. Agar padhna nahi aata to padhne wale se poocho. Agar padhte to malum hota ki Nizam Hyderabad chhod kar nahi gaye, unko Rajpramukh banaya gaya tha. China se jang hui to yahi Nizam ne apna sona bech diya

Owaisi reacted to Adityanath's remark asking if speaking against the BJP and PM Modi will require him to leave the country.
"Ye mulk aapka hai, mera nahi hai? Kya BJP ke khilaaf bolna, Modi ke khilaaf bolna, uski poliices ko criticise karna, RSS ke khilaaf bolna, Yogi par bolna, to kya mulk se bhaga denge?" he noted.
Telangana is set to go to polls on December 7, votes will be counted on December 11.
