MIM Chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi is planning to expand in Telangana and also contest in the next elections in the Assembly and Parliament constituencies where Muslim population is in considerable numbers.
They are already scouting for more seats in Telangana. Earlier they contested in Karnataka and West Bengal, like they did in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
The MIM will be completing 60 years on March 2 and they are celebrating the same across the Nation.
In the last general elections, MIM candidates fared well in Nizamabad Urban, Jubilee Hills, Rajendranagar, Uppal and Amberpet in Hyderabad. The top leadership of the party is of the opinion that it is the right time for the party to expand its base and emerge as a strong political force in Telangana.
The party has pinned hopes on the creation of new Assemblies in addition to the existing seats in Telangana so that it can bargain with the ruling TRS party for allocation of few seats where Muslim population is high for MIM in the next elections.
But it seems that the BJP at the Centre is not in a mood to give clearance to the creation of new Assembly constituencies before the next elections.
