With YSR Congress’s sweep of recent by polls that too with big majority in each of the winning constituency’s it is expected new equations start coming in. More leaders are expected to change parties considering winning prospects in 2014 elections. With more sitting MLAs shifting sides there is a possibility of danger to Kiran Kumar Government’s existence without continued support from MIM or even support from TDP!

Not perturbed by the YSR Wave that rocked the recent polls, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, MIM President,  said he would like to see the current Assembly complete its tenure. However, he added, "If for some extraneous reasons the state is forced to go for polls you will find us ready to face them."

MIM celebrated the 50 years of its presence in the state assembly recently.  In 1962 Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) had made debut entry in the Legislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh with 26-year-old Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi winning the Pathergatti constituency by defeating a state cabinet minister. Since 1962 it was no looking back for the party.

Asked with which political party the MIM would like to reach an understanding if the state sees a mid-term poll, he said, "It is too early to talk about what happens then. I believe the atmosphere prevailing at that time would decide the MIM's political approach."

Asked whether he is in contact with YSRCP chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy who is in jail, he took objection to the term "contact" as it would mean different in the present political scenario. However, he added, Jagan being a colleague in the Lok Sabha, they have spoken with each other in the past but did not discuss politics. "I have respect for him and I am sure he too respects me," he said weighing his words.

Irrespective of his stated stand, analysts believe that if the YSRCP would like to go for a no-confidence motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy government, Jaganmohan Reddy would try to persuade the MIM president to withdraw his support to the establishment and join his fold. But that would happen only if the YSRCP gets sufficient numbers in the Assembly to successfully challenge the government.

The MIM, on the other hand, they said, would not like to desert Congress midway.
