Background

Ashok Yadav, TDP candidate for Himayatnagar division, tried to run away with a ballot box and whipped out a knife but was overpowered by a constable. Another TDP candidate, Rathod, was caught by the police with a store of country made bombs in his house.
The AIMIM fought the election with the slogan "sheher hamara, mayor hamara" (our city, our mayor). Following the victory of the AIMIM, party chief Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi proclaimed that AIMIM was committed to the all-round development of the city and neglect of the old city would now end.
AIMIM alleged gerrymandering by the state government to reduce the political power of Muslims. For example, Riyasathnagar division with an overwhelming Muslim population had 33,195 voters whereas Hindu-majority Chilkalguda division had just 6,457 voters.Ahmed Iftikhar 4 April 1986 A firm Majlis hold (Saga of the Ganga) https://frontline.thehindu.com/static/content/frontline/flipbook/20201124100343/index.html#p=43 subscription https://archive.today/20230723072624/https://frontline.thehindu.com/static/content/frontline/flipbook/20201124100343/index.html%23p=43 23 July 2023 23 July 2023 Frontline 43 While Riyasathnagar division in the Old City with an overwhelming Muslim population has 33,195 voters, the Chilkalguda division in Secunderabad having a majority of Hindus has just 6,457 voters. The Government rejected the objections of the Majlis on the formation of divisions. If the divisions had been formed in a fair manner, the Majlis would have secured an absolute majority on its own.
