Muslims, AP-origin voters can tilt balance in Telangana polls
With 13% of the population in the state, Muslims have the potential to influence the outcome in 45 out of 119 seats in the upcoming assembly elections in Telangana. Historically, the minority community has supported BRS and its ally AIMIM, but they are now considering the Congress as an alternative due to reports of a "secret understanding" between BRS and BJP. Congress hopes to replicate its success in Karnataka and plans to announce welfare schemes for Muslims in its manifesto. BJP, on the other hand, aims to remove the 4% reservation for Muslims.
