Maharashtra Civic Body Results: The Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) secured victory on 121 seats in the recently concluded Maharashtra civic body polls, establishing itself as one of the major stakeholders in the state politics. While the party remained in the second position in Sambhaji Nagar and Malegaon, it also registered victory in eight seats in the capital city, Mumbai. The party has outperformed several traditional parties, including the Samajwadi Party and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) (SP), especially in the Muslim-dominated regions. While reacting to the results, party chief Asaduddin Owaisi assured that his party will raise the key issues of the people.

AIMIM registered victory on 33 out of the total 113 seats in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, emerging as the second largest party after BJP (58 seats). Apart from this, the party also won 21 in Malegaon, 15 in Amravati, 13 in Nanded, 10 in Dhule, eight in Solapur, six in Mumbai, five in Thane, two in Jalgaon, and one in Chandrapur. While responding to the poll results, Owaisi stated that the people of Maharashtra are tired of the traditional parties and seek a change.

Apart from this, party leader Shareque Naqshbandi stated that the party workers have been working hard for the past few months. He further asserted that despite being called communal by the opposition parties, AIMIM fielded several Hindu candidates in the civic body polls.

"We have given candidature to the ordinary people here, and they have won here. This is a tight slap to those political parties who gave candidature to their relatives. While the opposition called AIMIM communal, we made people from the Hindu community win seats," Naqshbandi was quoted as saying by PTI.
