Gulbarga: Puncturing the ego and overconfidence of the Karnataka state Leadership of AIMIM particularly AIMIM District Gulbarga Unit (headed singly by its President AbdulRaheem Mirchi), the joining program organised in historic Hafth Gumbad Ground ended up as a historic failure with no more than 30 people joining AIMIM. More than half of around 60-70 people who attended the event were relatives and employees of Rahim Mirchi himself. The Shocked State leadership which were expecting a turnout of atleast 1000 (given the number of chairs and seating arrangement) couldn’t believe their eyes and sat silently wondering what went wrong.

Gulbarga AIMIM Incharge & Newly elected GHMC Corporator Doodhbowli Division Mohd Saleem was visibly upset on a joke that was pulled on him by the Gulbarga District Unit. The Joining program which he was apparently expecting 100s of youth to attend became a Family event of District president of Gulbarga. He is only himself to blame for this mess however, as it has been more than one and Half year that AIMIM Gulbarga has been run as a PVT ltd Company by Raheem Mirchi and today’s spectacular face loss was a Wake Up Call to AIMIM Karnataka State Leadership.

Karnataka State President Usman Gani Humnabad, sat silently wondering the future of Party in Gulbarga, which has been unable to attract any worthy name from Gulbarga’s sizeable Minority leadership and has been a consistent failure in gaining traction in Muslim masses. although he tried to put up a brave face by saying this is a initial stage of party and we will grow. But it has been a Year and couple of months extra since the party had entered Gulbarga in a Spectacular event held at same ground but in that event the ground was full to brim and entire area was choked. Ironically That last jalsa had more Media Persons than today’s event.

As the Empty chairs Stared at the Karnataka State Leadership of AIMIM, most of whome are virtually unknown in Gulbarga, tried to boost morale of attendees by spinning this as an internal program, but they failed to answer why this wasn’t held in an Office or Function Hall etc and Why more than 1000 chairs and a Ground of 5000 capacity was decked up for an internal event. At one point there were more flags than the people.

The Netizens of Gulbarga came down heavily on AIMIM Gulbarga. “Never Seen So many people at one place” Commented an FB user sarcastically, “Yeh Mr India ki joining hai kya” Another One asked as almost nobody was visible initially.
