Hyderabad, Nov 26 (PTI) With the elections to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation throwing up a split verdict, major parties have begun hectic lobbying to grab the coveted Mayor?s post election for which will be held on December 4.
While the state's ruling Congress is hopeful of bagging the Mayor post with the help of its MPs, MLAs and MLCs ? who will be ex-officio members in GHMC ? principal opposition Telugu Desam Party has reportedly offered its support to Majlis Ittehadul-e-Muslimeen (MIM) for the seat.
In exchange, TDP will settle for the deputy mayor?s post, party sources indicated.
Congress? plans, however, could turn awry if the state High Court disallows the ex-officio members from casting their votes in the Mayoral election.
Lok Satta Party and CPI filed petitions in the High Court seeking disqualification of ex-officio members from voting in the Mayoral election contending it was 'unconstitutional'.
