AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi Monday flayed Union minister Prakash Javadekar for his statement that there was no alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and there would be "anarchy" in his absence, saying it reflected the BJP's "classic fascist mindset and thinking."
He alleged BJP was not "bothered" about it and added "when they are going to lose power they say there will be anarchy in the country...there will not be anarchy and country will run as per democracy."
Asked if he thinks that West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee is emerging as a strong contender for the post of Prime Minister, Owaisi said there were many capable leaders in the country "whose thinking is better than Modi and Rahul Gandhi."

About Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao performing a five-day 'Yagam' (havan), Owaisi it was his religious belief. "Let him do it."
