AIMIM supremo and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has backed Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao over the accusation that he has been completely missing in action. The senior politician feels that it's not a cricket match for a CM to be constantly on the field.

Speaking to The NewsMinute, Owaisi said, "How can you say CM is missing? CM is there. Should I tell you how many times I have spoken to him? Should some MLA say? He is there, his ministers are there, the Chief Secretary is there, the DGP and the Commissioner are there. Is this a cricket match where he needs to be on the field? He is there and he is monitoring everything."

He also suggested that the #WhereIsKCR campaign was run by the BJP IT cell.

Owaisi exuded hope and confidence that testing will go up further in the State. "I feel we will cross 20,000 overall in the Hyderabad constituency. But I am not satisfied with even 20,000," he told the portal.
