Udgir, Latur: The All India Majlis Itihadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is continuing its good performance in Maharashtra, and on Thursday emerged victorious on six seats of the Udgir (District Latur) Taluka local body elections.

The winning candidates-Sayed Taher Husain, Dargar Shamsuddin, Hashmi Sayed Reshma, Sambhaji Sangve and Noorjahan Patel-expressed happiness while talking to local press members and credited their victory to voters and the party high command.

Imtiyaz Jaleel, legislature of the party informed Twocircles.net that they had fielded only 22 candidates in the entire Latur dist, of which 18 were muslims and remainig 4 were Dalit.

“The win in Udgir is a really satisfying and encouraging result for us. Party will have elections in Aurangabad district in the next two days and we are hoping for a much better performance,” he added.

It is notable that the Marathwada region of Maharashtra state is considered as the strongest zone of AIMIM in the state. The party already has about 40 municipality members in Aurangabad and one MLA from Aurangabad central constituency.

These results will surely go for help to perform better in the upcoming high profile Thane dist. And BMC municipal polls.”
