Secondly, Yakutpura legislator Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri has been an MLA since 2004, and there are chances that he may be changed owing to his health concerns. The AIMIM list is likely to be out by next week.
6. The Jamiat-i-Ulama Telangana Andhra Pradesh has been working extensively in the districts. They have had two massive public meetings thus far where they have poked holes in the BRS government’s schemes and said that “painting masjids” and giving land for graveyards is not in the spirit of development for Muslims of the State. Rather, there is a need for education and better heathcare facilities for the community.
7. Former Congress MLA Kunja Satyavati representing Bhadrachalam ST constituency passed away late last night.
