AIMIM to receive support from BRS in MLC polls
According to the latest reports, the All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) will receive support from the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in the upcoming biennial MLC election to Hyderabad local bodies constituency.
BRS President and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao made the decision after AIMIM sought the former’s support as was extended during the previous MLC election to the seat.
Despite having enough numbers to win the MLC seat through local bodies from Hyderabad, the BRS has chosen to back its friendly party AIMIM.
