June 10, 2022 08:22

All India Majilis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has decided to vote for the Maha Vikas Aghadi candidates in the Rajya Sabha elections in Maharashtra, the party's state unit president Imtiaz Jaleel said on Friday morning.

Jaleel said the decision has been taken to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party but the party's "political/ideological differences" with Shiv Sena, a partner in the MVA government, will continue.

The AIMIM leader said that the party "laid certain conditions related to the development of our MLAs constituencies in Dhulia and Malegaon".

'We laid certain conditions related to development of our MLAs constituencies in Dhulia and Malegaon. Also demanded Govt to appoint a minority member in MPSC and to take steps to increase the income of Maharashtra Wakf Board. Also demanded reservations for Muslims," Jaleel tweeted hours before the polling.

The AIMIM has two MLAs in the 288-member strong Maharashtra assembly.

The AIMIM has also demanded that the government appoint a minority member to the Maharashtra Public Services Commission (MPSC) and take steps to increase the income of the Maharashtra Wakf Board. Another condition laid by the party is regarding the reservations for Muslims.

"Our 2 AIMIM Maharashtra MLAs have been asked to vote for @INCIndia candidate @ShayarImran for Rajya Sabha seat. We extend our best wishes to him!," he tweeted.
