Hyderabad: The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), which is preparing to contest in more than 50 assembly constituencies in Telangana, started the process of identifying the seats a year ago.

In his address to the Jalsa Rehmatullah Ullamin in Darr-us-Salaam, Asaduddin Owaisi advised the party cadres, especially the cadres of the districts, to present the local issues through the media.
Plans to field Hindu candidates from the assembly constituencies reserved for a few backward classes along with Muslim-dominated seats are under process throughout the districts and suburbs. 17 assembly constituencies have been identified in the districts so far, said reliable sources.
