HYDERABAD: Expecting an early election, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has stepped up the party’s public outreach programmes in the city and across the state.  The party leadership has taken up various public interactive programmes including paidal daura (campaigning on foot) to renew contact with the people. The party will also conduct public meetings at various places in the city. According to party sources, the AIMIM leadership had planned the interaction programmes following reports of early elections. 

“Party president Asaduddin Owaisi had months ago indicated an early election. Before Ramzan, several public meetings were held and interaction programmes organised in the city and various districts,” the source said.  During the month of Ramzan, party leaders attended the Dawaat-e-Iftar organised at mohalla level even in the districts. Some leaders of the party attended the saher or predawn meal get-togethers. 

All through the month, the leadership held the Youmul Quran programme at important mosques in the city. In the coming days, the party will also be increasing its presence on social media platforms with a dedicated team being brought in to handle the digital campaigning.  The AlMIM has seven legislators in the city. The party contested four Lok Sabha and 21 Assembly seats in Telangana, and one Lok Sabha and 13 Assembly seats in SeemaAndhra region in the last general and assembly elections.
