We will decide when the verdict comes,” he said. “This question can only be answered on 11 March when the results come because first of all, I (AIMIM) have to win seats. We will decide when the verdict comes,” he said. Owaisi refused to comment on the narrative on possible fractured verdict in Uttar Pradesh, saying results on 11 March would “throw every thing in right perspective”.
