Hyderabad sources reported that no Muslim woman candidate has won the Assembly elections after 1957. Meanwhile only two Muslim woman candidates Shajahan Begum and Masooma Begum were elected from Shadnagar and Pathergatti constituencies. Accordingly Muslims in Telangana state are upset over the attitude of political parties in fielding Muslim candidates considering their population. 



Reports added the ruling TRS fielded only two Muslims, Shakeel (Bodhan) and Inayat Ali Baqari (Bahadurpura) while the Congress declared the names of Mohammed Ali Shabbir (Kamareddy), Feroz Khan (Nampally), Mohd Gouse (Charminar) and Isa Misri (Chandrayanagutta) so far.  Even though TPCC chief Uttam Kumar Reddy had earlier promised that it would allocate 14 constituencies for Muslim candidates, observers predict that the party has only three slots left in Hyderabad which are Karwan, Bahadurpura and Yakutpura.

Moreover the Telugu Desam announced the name of Muzaffar Ali Khan for Malakpet constituency and hence it seems that only Kamareddy and Bodhan are the constituencies which are outside Hyderabad and where Muslim candidates of major political parties will not be confronting each other in electoral battle. Furthermore in the united Andhra Pradesh Assembly, the number of Muslim MLAs elected in 2009 was 11 and that has been the maximum so far.
