Trivia
  • Goshamahal is the only assembly seat in Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency, which has never been won by AIMIM.[7][8][9] Prem Singh Rathore got elected as BJP MLA from Maharajganj in 1999, later where he resigned as a form of protest. He is the only BJP legislator who got a large amount of support from Muslim dominated areas.
