Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (MIM) had won two of the total 24 contested seats in the recently concluded Maharashtra elections. That may look simple but the party has got 0.9 percent of the state vote indicating the resurgence of an alternative political force in the state.
MIM has no ideas of confining to Telangana or Maharashtra. “We have seen BJP growing in the country and the remaining political parties claim themselves as secular could not pacify the Muslims’ inhibitions of the growing Hindutva forces (BJP). The anger has resulted in votes to MIM and the party would like to form in to a formidable force across the nation”, opines MIM leaders.
The Party is planning to go with a single agenda across the nation as projecting themselves as saviors of Muslim community victimized by “communal” governments and the only weapon they are going to use for this purpose is the religious and emotional oratory of the Owaisi brothers, who control the party. The Owaisis are planning to contest in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir elections too.
