The city of Hyderabad has always been the cynosure of many political parties for obvious reasons. But one region stood untouched and undefeated. It is the Old City area and from a very long time, it has been the MIM party which has got an iron grip over those seats. In a way, religion plays a far stronger role in that area than anything else.
But over the years, the Old City has remained as it is suffering lack of development and infrastructure. Many conscious individuals and analysts give the credit to MIM for that. But the political situation has changed and the long standing pact between MIM and congress has broken.
With this, the congress and various other parties have begun moving their cards to counter the presence of MIM in old city. The social awareness and realization of lack of development has increased among the residents and this is now being used as a tool to diffuse the power of MIM. But unless another party or leader emerges with the same religious background, defeating MIM is going to be difficult.
