Hyderabad: Corporators of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clashed in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) council meeting here on Saturday, July 6.
The clash took place after a BJP corporator reportedly displayed a placard alleging a political nexus between BRS, Congress and AIMIM in the background of the ongoing defection of corporators. The placard depicted former CM and BRS president KCR, chief minister A Revanth Reddy and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi together, provoking AIMIM corporators.
The AIMIM and BJP corporators exchanged verbal duel on the city development in the meeting.
Following the chaos, the mayor adjourned the meeting due to the disruptions
Earlier today the council witnessed another clash between Bharath Rashtra Samithi(BRS) and BJP corporators.
The BRS corporators also stormed the Mayor’s podium demanding mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi prove majority support or quit the post for not having the majority.
Left pink party to join Congress
Vijayalakshi and her father K Keshava Rao left the pink party to join Congress following BRS’s nasty defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.
BRS had emerged as the single largest party in the previous GHMC election. BJP is the main opposition in GHMC with 47 seats. Meanwhile, AIMIM has 44 corporators in the council. The Congress party which won two wards now has 10 members.
Vijayalaxmi, who was elected as a corporator from Banjara Hills ward, was elected the first woman Mayor after the formation of Telangana state.
