== Career ==
Balala won from the [[Malakpet (Assembly constituency)|Malakpet constituency]] in 2009 by defeating Muhammad Muzaffar Ali Khan of [[Telegu Desam Party]] on an [[All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen]] ticket. Previously his party unsuccessfully contested the seat in 1989 and 1994.<ref>{{cite web|title=BJP, MIM to lock horns in three constituencies|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/bjp-mim-to-lock-horns-in-three-constituencies/article5908817.ece|publisher=The Hindu|accessdate=21 April 2017|date=14 April 2017}}</ref> In December 2011, when officials of the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] tried to demolish the shops and encroachments around the [[Badshahi Ashurkhana]], Balala and [[Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri]], and other supporters of AIMIM MLA, prevented them from doing so, leading to tensions in the city.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shops around monument in Old City removed|url=http://m.ndtv.com/hyderabad-news/shops-around-monument-in-old-city-removed-567380|publisher=NDTV|accessdate=21 April 2017|date=25 December 2011}}</ref>

In 2014, Balala campaigned for the party in the [[2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election|Maharasthra Assembly Polls]]. After the results were declared, in which his party won two seats, Balala said that the reason for their success was because of the injustice done to Muslims.<ref>{{cite web|title=With massive Muslim backing and 2 seats Owasi's MIM is now a big player|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-with-massive-muslim-backing-and-2-seats-owasi-s-mim-is-now-a-big-player-2027629|publisher=DNA India|accessdate=21 April 2017|date=20 October 2014}}</ref> In April of the same year, he was renominated by the party for the same Malakpet seat in the [[2014 Telangana Legislative Assembly election|Telegana Legislative Assembly]] polls.<ref>{{cite web|title=All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen announced its first list of candidates|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/140401/nation-politics/article/all-india-majlis-e-ittehadul-muslimeen-announced-its-first-list|publisher=Deccan Chronicle|accessdate=22 April 2017|date=1 April 2014}}</ref> He emerged victorious by defeating Venkat Rao of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] by 23,000 votes.<ref>{{cite web|title=MIM retains all its seats, fell short from achieving mile stones|url=http://twocircles.net/2014may16/mim_retained_all_its_seats_fell_short_achieving_mile_stones.html|publisher=Two Circles|accessdate=22 April 2017|date=16 May 2014}}</ref>

In the zero hour of the Legislative Assembly of March 2016, Balala urged the government to relax the helmet rules for motorcyclists due to the high temperature of the summer months. He said that the "helmets further increase the heat for riders".<ref>{{cite web|title=MIM seeks summer break from helmet rules|url=http://www.thehansindia.com/posts/index/Telangana/2016-03-17/MIM-seeks-summer-break-for-helmet-rule-/214256|publisher=The Hans India|accessdate=10 June 2017|date=17 March 2016}}</ref>
