AIMIM announces candidates for civic polls
The AIMIM, a political party led by Asaduddin Owaisi, has announced its first list of 12 candidates for the upcoming elections in three cities: Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, and Nashik.
Most of the candidates are from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, with a few from Nashik and one from Jalna.
Out of the 12 candidates, only one is not Muslim.
Meanwhile, in Adilabad, many people who want to run in the elections are visiting the offices of major political parties like Congress, BRS, and BJP.
They are asking for tickets to run in the elections.
The Muslim minority community is asking for tickets that match their population size.
Other communities are also talking to party leaders to get tickets.
In Hyderabad, the AIMIM might have fewer seats in the bigger city council, but they could become stronger if the council is split into smaller parts.
