This is the reason why TRS has fielded Muslim candidates in 12 wards out of 38 wards coming under old city so that votes of majority community could be divided.
As for the post of major it has been decided that TRS and Majlis will appoint their candidates on the posts of mayor and deputy mayor in turns.
