"I appeal to the people of Nalgonda to cast your vote with your entire family on February 11th and support the AIMIM candidates to ensure AIMIM's victory... We will strengthen our leadership in Nalgonda... For a bright future for Nalgonda, and to address the stalled development work in the poor areas of Nalgonda, it is very important that you cast your vote in favour of AIMIM," Owaisi said.
He also sharply criticised the BJP and the Centre over foreign policy, minority rights and recent incidents of violence.
Meanwhile, the Telangana State Election Commission announced the official schedule for the municipal elections, with polling on February 11 and results on February 13.
Elections are due in 116 municipalities and seven municipal corporations across the State, covering 2,996 wards and divisions whose terms have expired. The Cabinet noted that the reservation process has already been completed as per the Dedicated Commission's report.
