AIMIM Set To Retain Bahadurpura Seat As It Sees No Opposition Bumps

Hyderabad, Aug 30 (Maxim News): The Bahadurpura constituency has been an AIMIM bastion, even though the Opposition BJP and Congress have been trying to grab the seat with no prominent face leaders. 

The Opposition contenders are unproven in big-time politics and voters are skeptical about them.  Since the formation of the constituency, the present MLA Mohammed Moazam Khan (AIMIM) has won the seat with a majority of 82,000 votes.  The Majlis party has been gearing up to retain this seat without much effort, unlike other constituencies.  Even though the BJP and the Congress have not announced candidates, according to political analysts, the battle will be likely in the hands of AIMIM.  If Moazam is fielded again it will be his tryst for the fifth win in polls from Bahadurpura.  A political analyst said each time a dozen candidates will be contesting for this segment, including those of major parties, but all failed to defeat the AIMIM since the last four terms. 

With over 80 percent population belonging to the minority community, this constituency in the Old City has been dominated by AIMIM.  No other party even stood second in polls and all nominees lost their deposit in the year the constituency was created, as per the Delimitation Act of 2002, Since 2004 Moazam Khan appears to be safekeeping the seat in his hands.
