The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen is most likely to enter into an alliance with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
The ensuing elections to Rajya Sabha seats have provided the MIM an opportunity to find a new ally in the TRS.
According to sources, the top leaders of both the parties are in constant touch to forge an alliance not only for the Rajya Sabha elections, but for the Parliament and Assembly polls scheduled to be held this year.
On Monday, TRS leaders including party's Rajya Sabha candidate K Keshav Rao, T Harish Rao and K Tarakarama Rao called on MIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi at his latter's chamber in the Assembly.
The TRS leaders have reportedly sought the MIM support to ensure victory of Keshav Rao in exchange for an alliance in next Lok Sabha and Assembly polls.
The leaders of both the parties remained tight-lipped on what transpired during the meeting held on Monday.
However, they gave clear indications that both the parties were not against having an alliance in near future.
It may be mentioned that the MIM has reversed its stand on Telangana after the State Reorganisation Bill was tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
MIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi not only supported the Bill, but spoke in tone that matched the pro-Telangana parties, especially the TRS.
