Naveen quits AIMIM
Naveen filed his nomination as an independent candidate from the Jubilee Hills constituency after AIMIM denied him a ticket. The AIMIM instead filed Mohd Rasheed Faraz, Shaikpet corporator, though he was assured of a ticket in the current elections.
Unhappy over the development, Naveen resigned from the AIMIM. He contested as an AIMIM candidate in 2014 and as an independent candidate in 2018.
Naveen Yadav, son of Chinna Srisailam Yadav, enjoys considerable clout in the Jubilee Hills since his father was chairman of Kompally municipality and associated with AIMIM.
