All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen president and Hyderabad MP , Asaduddin Owaisi congratulated Mufti Mohammed Ismail Abdul Khalique, for his win from Malegaon Central in the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha polls 2024.
In a message on ‘X’, (formerly twitter) Asaduddin Owaisi said “Congratulation to Mufti Ismail sahab on being elected as Malegaon MLA for a second time. I am thankful to the people of Maharasthra who voted for us in large numbers. To our candidates, party workers and supporters, I urge you all not to lose heart and work hard with renewed resolve (sic),” he wrote.
Asaduddin said the election results show that the people are looking for a genuine political alternative and that AIMIM has established itself in Maharasthra
politics.
Asaduddin also made a mention of Farooq Shabdi and Faruk Shah Anwar and Ateeque Ahmad, who gave a tight contest to their rivals but could not bag the seats. “Inshallah their perseverance will pay off in their future,” he stated.
The AIMIM president described a election as a tough battle. He said that Imtiyaz Jaleel led the party in a tough battle and his own seat was not easy.
Imtiyaz Jaleel, who spearheaded the Maharasthra assembly campaign lost the Aurangabad East seat to Bhartiya Janata Party candidiate. “Imitiyaz Jaleel is not a typical politician, and I am sure that this is just a hiccup in his political journey,” Asaduddin Owaisi said.
The AIMIM party contested from 16 seats and could win only the Malegaon Central seat.
