With the election in Telangana, where TRS is facing against a combined opposition alliance, slated to go down to the wire, the role of the Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has become crucial. AIMIM is in a friendly alliance with TRS and is contesting 8 seats. It has strongholds in Greater Hyderabad region and won 7 of 119 seats in the 2014 assembly elections with 4% of vote-share. Owaisi speaks to Election With Times on why he has a friendly pact with TRS, the importance of the minority vote in Telangana, charges of splitting the opposition vote and the Ram temple debate.
