A day after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the Mughals and British weakened India's economy, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi today hit out at the BJP CM.

"Had the UP CM read history and had any understanding of economics, he would have known that India's share of the global GDP was 25% during the Mughal reign. I understand that he has hatred for anything that has to do with Muslims but you can't change history or facts," the AIMIM leader today commented.

"Yogi has proved that he has no knowledge of anything, he should ask an expert. He is lucky to be the CM of UP. My only point is, what has BJP done in 6 years? What about unemployment, layoffs, and the 5% GDP?" he asked.
