Amidst swirling rumors of Nara Lokesh's elevation to working president of the Telugu Desam Party, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has urged Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to step aside and pass leadership to his son.

Speaking at a gathering in Adoni, Kurnool District, Owaisi harshly criticized the Waqf (Amendment) Act, claiming it violates the rights of the Muslim community.
