Mohammed Younus/ Hyderabad : With the ongoing tiff among political parties of the ruling Congress-Nationalist Congress Party and Shiv Sena-BJP combine over seat sharing showing no signs of settling down, the Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) is desperately trying to carve out political space for itself in Maharashtra. The MIM leadership is in its final leg of its two-month long campaign in Maharashtra where Assembly elections are scheduled to be held from October 15.
The party may field 15 to 20 candidates in the present assembly elections
Sources in MIM said that party was exploring possibilities in troubled political atmosphere prevailing in the State. Also said that remaining list of candidates would be finalized in a day or two. MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has been focusing on Maharashtra for the last two years and the political campaign has been speeded up during last few months. Party legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi completed his 10-day tour to Mumbai on Sunday covering several constituencies and conducting public meetings. The party is focusing on the areas and districts with higher Muslim population.
MIM is likely to field its candidates from Bhiwandi, Jogeshwari of Mumbai, Thane, Aurangabad, Malegaon, Parbhani, Beed, Latur and Sholapur. The party may field 15 to 20 candidates in the present assembly elections. MIM already has its presence in Maharashtra municipalities, where it won 15 councilor seats in different municipal areas. The party would hold its public meetings in Sholapur, Nanded and Aurangabad during the next three days. Sources said that party was keen to contest from constituencies in Aurangabad which is home town of Asaduddin Owaisi’s ancestors. On the other hand, religious leaders from Maharashtra descended in Hyderabad to meet party president to finalise the list of potential candidates.
