Cong to Field Former Captain Azhar for Mayor

Hyderabad: The city unit of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) is planning to field former cricket captain Mohammed Azharuddin for the Mayor post in the ensuing GHMC polls. 

Congress party sources said that besides being a native, Azhar enjoys mass following among the youth of Hyderabad. The party is pinning hopes on this strategy to revive its fortunes as the AIMIM has distanced itself from the Congress and the TRS is going all out to stamp its authority on the GHMC.
Meanwhile, Azharuddin is said to have asked for more time to reveal his decision on the issue.
