Ahead of the local body elections in Andhra Pradesh the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) stepped up its campaign pressing into action sitting legislators and former corporators from Telangana, and party workers from other states.

The AIMIM has fielded candidates in the civic bodies that include Vijaywada Municipal Corporation, Kadapa Municipal Corporation, Hindupur Municipality, Nandyal Municipality and Rayadurg Municipality.

“The party started its official, full-fledged campaign which saw MLAs, MLCs, and ex-corporators from GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) on October 19. The MLAs who campaigned are Kausar Mohiuddin, Jafar Hussain Meraj, Mohammed Mubeen, and Majid Hussain. Riyaz ul Hasan Effendi is the MLC there. All ex-corporators were given different responsibilities,” said an AIMIM functionary, adding that the workers were joined by former AIMIM legislator from Byculla, Maharashtra, Waris Pathan. “The party is optimistic of winning several seats,” he said.
