The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has come up with a manifesto for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections.Titled ‘Hyderabad Action Plan for 2016-2021,’ the eight-page MIM manifesto contains over 30 promises and brief history of party's role in city's development.
The MIM has also released a fact-sheet of its presence in MCH and GHMC from 1959-2014 and another document on the party's achievements. "MIM had emerged as single-largest party in 100-member MCH in 1986 and 2002. AIMIM retained this position in the old MCH limits (41 wards out of 100) though it ranked behind Congress and Telugu Desam Party in the 2009 GHMC polls.
Out of the 15 years of the elected body, AIMIM held the mayor’s post for eight years-during 1986-91 and 2012-2014," said the document in the introductory chapter. "As the GHMC goes to the polls to elect a new body on February 2, 2016, AIMIM has many ambitious plans on the anvil to ensure that all basic civic amenities are provided to every section of the citizens without burdening them with tax hikes.
However, no
effort will be spared to ensure that the GHMC realises every rupee of tax that it should legitimately get from the citizens for the services they use. AIMIM has the vision and mission to make Hyderabad a world class city and in this direction it is making all-out efforts in every field like housing, poverty alleviation, and development of infrastructure in all aspects of municipal activity to make Hyderabad City clean and green with a safe and secure environment," said MIM President Asaduddin Owaisi.
Asaduddin Owaisi said that the MIM would take up comprehensive civic infrastructure development in GHMC by incorporating the components of Greater Hyderabad Development Programme (GHDP) approved by GHMC and the Strategic Road Development Plan formulated by the State government.
MIM would ensure expeditious completion of Old City Package, Charminar Pedestrianisation Project and Mir Alam Tank beautification and development project and would facilitate expeditious implementation of Hyderabad Traffic Integrated Management System (H-TRIMS) project to ease traffic congestion," he said.
