Fixing A Political Match? Azharuddin Likely To Dump Congress, Join TRS To Gain Lok Sabha Seat
TPCC working president and former cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin
Former Indian cricket captain and Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president, Mohammad Azharuddin, is likely to be given the Lok Sabha ticket from Secunderabad after joining the Telangana Rashtra Samiti.
A non-resident Indian is said to be negotiating with the higher rungs of the TRS about Azharuddin joining the party, sources close to the former Congress leader have confirmed. Sources later added that TRS chief and Telangana Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao had responded positively to the developments.
Majlis-e-Ittihadul Muslimeen (MIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Azharuddin are good friends, and sources say Azharuddin attended the wedding of Owaisi’s daughter, three days ago. The Chief Minister, along with his family, were also in attendance, and it is believed that the former captain used this occasion to express his desire to join the TRS.
Azharuddin joined the Congress in 2009 and was elected to the Lok Sabha from Moradabad, but was later confined to Telangana.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
