Hyderabad: Despite the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) snapping its ties with ruling
Congress in Andhra Pradesh, the Congress is not in a position to
remove MIM's mayor in Greater Hyderabad.
Mohammed Majid Hussain, who took over as the mayor Jan 5, is
likely to complete his two-year term under the power sharing pact
between the two parties though he may not have a smooth sailing
any more.
The two parties are sharing power in the 150-member Greater
Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). The MIM got the mayor's
post after Congress' Banda Kartika Reddy completed two years in
office.
MIM's Jaffer Hussain Meraj was deputy mayor for two years and
Congress' Raj Kumar currently holds the post.
The MIM, which withdrew support to the Congress government Monday,
is confident that the Congress cannot do anything to remove Majid
Hussain.
The GHMC Act says an incumbent mayor cannot be removed even
through no-confidence till he or she completed three years from
the date of assuming charge.
The MIM, however, is ready for any eventuality. Its chief
Asaduddin Owaisi has made this clear.
"We supported them (Congress) for two years. Now it is our right
to rule for two years. If (chief minister) Kiran Kumar Reddy wants
to show his power, let him do. We have no love for positions of
power," said Owaisi, a MP from Hyderabad.
However, Mohammed Majid Hussain, who at the age of 31 became the
youngest mayor in the country, may find the going tough in the
changed political situation.
Political analysts say the standing committee presided over by the
mayor may not get to function smoothly as MIM has snapped ties
with Congress.
In 2009, the Congress emerged as the single largest party with 52
seats. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) won 45 seats while MIM emerged the
kingmaker with 43 seats.
The Congress entered into a post-poll alliance with MIM. The two
parties agreed to share the power for four years with the
arrangement for the fifth year is to be decided after MIM
completes its two-year term.
