TS Polls: AIMIM To Contest In 25 Seats?

MIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen) party plays a prominent role in Telangana politics, especially with their dominance in Hyderabad. Ahead of the Telangana polls, there is confusion over the number of seats the party will field for.

Amidst this, we learned that the party is set to release a list of 25 candidates but is grappling with demands and replacements. Senior MLAs like Syed Ahmed Pasha Qadri and Mumtaz Khan opt not to contest due to age and health. Yet, there’s pressure to field Mumtaz Khan’s son and Akbaruddin Owaisi’s son in their seats. The party’s chief Asaduddin Owaisi will take the final call.

MIM strategizes to contest in various constituencies and hopes to indirectly support BRS.
