Battle of seats in Deccan
Congress President Rahul Gandhi is going to Hyderabad later this month to sort out problems over who will contest from the prestigious Hyderabad and Secunderabad Lok Sabha seats in 2019. The problem is this: Former cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin is from Hyderabad and the Congress wants to field him from there. But the seat is a longtime pocket borough of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and current MP Asaduddin Owaisi is a tough challenge for anyone. What Azharuddin would really like is to contest from Secunderabad. But that is being resisted by current Greater Hyderabad Congress unit
