Summary:
The state has 40 to 45 per cent Muslim voters; as a result, all political parties are eyeing on Muslim vote bank. Congress is playing reservation card to distance Muslim voters from TRS. While declaring Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) as pro-BJP parties, Congress president Rahul Gandhi has intensified the poll campaign in the state. Since MIM has supported KCR, Congress has cut ties with MIM and Asaduddin Owaisi. Thus there seems to be a direct battle between Congress and MIM..
