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.
Though the AIMIM has not officially announced its candidature, sources say Syed Aminul Hasan Jafri is likely to be retained for a fourth term, including one in the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council and two in the Telangana Legislative Council.

The notification was issued on February 16, and the deadline for filing nominations is February 23. The scrutiny will take place on February 24, and the deadline for the withdrawal of nominations is February 27. The polling will take place on March 13 followed by the counting of votes on March 16.
