Summary:
The Telangana Assembly was dissolved prematurely in September on the recommendation of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government. The Assembly elections in the state are scheduled to be held on December 7 to elect members from 119 constituencies. Hyderabad: Bodybuilder Esa Misri, Congress candidate from the Chandrayangutta constituency in the forthcoming Telangana assembly elections, expressed confidence of winning the seat since his focus is on development of the area, building government schools and hospitals, and women empowerment, unlike his rivals. Misri will be contesting against Bharatiya Janata Party’s Shehzadi and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi’s younger brother Akbaruddin Owaisi. Leaders should seek votes from the public by offering them development, not religious sentiments..
