Hyderabad: In a significant turn of events, former AIMIM leader and corporator Khaja Bilal, who recently resigned from the party, officially rejoined the Congress on Sunday, November 26. The reunion took place in the presence of Rajya Sabha MP Imran Pratapgarhi.
Khaja Bilal had tendered his resignation from AIMIM a fortnight ago, citing dissatisfaction with the party’s decisions. In a video statement, he revealed, “I had demanded the AIMIM ticket from Goshamahal assembly constituency, but AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi didn’t give it.” Bilal expressed disappointment that AIMIM chose not to contest from Goshamahal, an area with 80,000 Muslim voters, raising suspicions of a deliberate decision.
Accusing Asaduddin Owaisi of not fielding a candidate in Goshamahal in a planned manner, Khaja Bilal voiced his grievances against the AIMIM president. This development follows a trend, as two former corporators, Khaja Bilal and Mohd Ghouse, had previously joined the Congress after leaving AIMIM. However, they later returned to AIMIM, marking a dynamic shift in local politics.
