AIMIM Still Has An Edge Over Resurgent BJP In Malakpet Constituency

Hyderabad, Aug 26 (Maxim News): The Malakpet Assembly constituency has always presented an interesting political scenario in each election. The BJP is strong in the segment, now the TDP and Congress also have sufficient presence.

The AIMIM each time consolidates its vote share to grab the seat from a strong rival contender.  The segment includes a mixed population.  Voters are educated, employees and middle class, who are very flexible in their choice of candidate  

Before delimitation in 2009, both BJP, Congress, and TDP had strong cadres in the area. The incumbent three-time MLA, Ahmed Bin Abdullah Balala, might again fight in the segment and try his luck for the fourth time. Political analysts opine that Balala has consolidated his place in the constituency by virtue of his accessibility to people and in promptly redressing their grievances. One analyst feels in the upcoming election too, the MIM would face a tough challenge from both BJP and TDP. The constituency was traditionally a BJP seat.

Later, in the Congress wave of 2004, the seat was grabbed by Malreddy Ranga Reddy of Congress later by the MIM, which had an understanding with the Congress and later with the TRS. The Majlis was unsuccessful in 1989 and 1994 and lost to INC and TDP respectively. The BRS has fielded its candidate, Teegala Ajith Reddy in a friendly fight with the MIM.
