MIM-Congress Alliance Continues In GHMC

The MIM has named 7 candidates for the elections for the GHMC's 15-member Standing Committee. It has thus left 8 other seats for its ally, the Congress.
Hyderabad | 25th May 2014
Amid talks of its possible tie-up with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi in Telangana, the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has made it clear that it won't break its alliance with the Congress party in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).

The MIM on Sunday named 7 candidates for the elections for the GHMC's 15-member Standing Committee.

By naming just 7 candidates, the MIM has left 8 other seats for its ally, the Congress party.

This will ensure that the MIM-Congress combine continues its control over the Standing Committee for the 5th consecutive year.

The GHMC's 5-year term will complete by this year's end.

Of the 150 divisions in the GHMC, the Congress has 54 corporators, the MIM has 42, the TDP has 46, the BJP has 5, there are 3 independents and 1 MBT corporator.

By continuing their alliance, the MIM-Congress combine can keep the TDP and BJP out of the Standing Committee.

The elections for the 15-member Standing Committee for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation will be held on June 6. The last day for filing of nominations is Monday, and the GHMC will publish the list of nominations received on May 27, which will be scrutinized on May 28. The last date for the withdrawal of nominations is May 31, and the withdrawal needs to be done before 3pm.

The GHMC corporators whose candidature for the elections of the Standing Committee members were finalised by the MIM are: Wajid Ali Khan (Santosh Nagar), Abdul Qavi Ansari (Chandrayangutta), Dr Yousufuddin Naqshbandi (Lalithabagh), Mohsin Balala (Pathergatti), M A Gaffar (Doodh Bowli), Md Farooquddin (Amberpet) and V Bhanumathi (Borabanda).

Meanwhile, the Congress has also finalised some of its candidates, including Wajid Hussain (Bholakpur), Anil Singh (Dhoolpet), Dev Anand (Sanathnagar), Krishna (Jiyaguda) and J Satyanarayana (Rajendernagar). The remaining candidates are likely to be named by Monday morning.

BJP corporator representing the Kachiguda division, Uma Rani, has already filed her nomination for the Standing Committee elections. (INN)
