Who is Madhavi Lata who competes with Asaduddin Owaisi? Praised many times by Modi himself! Who is BJP Candidate Madhavi Latha who is contesting against Asaduddin Owaisi – News18 Kannada Achi-News

Hyderabad (A.09): In this Lok Sabha election, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded 49-year-old Madhavi Lata against All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi from Hyderabad constituency. Madhavi Lata is not only a business woman by profession, but also a social activist and has been active in this old Muslim majority city for a long time. So this time Owaisi may have to face a strong challenge from Madhavi.

This Hyderabad seat has been with AIMIM since 1984. First Salahuddin Owaisi and then his son Asaduddin Owaisi won elections from here. Four-time MP Asaduddin Owaisi defeated BJP’s Bhagwant Rao in 2019 by more than 2.5 lakh votes. However, BJP leaders are confident that Owaisi will win this seat this time.

Prime Minister Modi called Madhavi Lata a wonderful person

On the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also praised Madhavi Lata a lot. Describing her as extraordinary, PM Modi took to social media platform X, “Madhavi Lata ji, your episode “Aap Ki Adalat” is extraordinary. You have raised very important issues and done so with logic and passion. I’ n hope you are well’, he wrote.

BJP candidate Madhavi Lata had claimed on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ on Indian TV that Owaisi would lose by 1.5 lakh votes. He also predicted the defeat of the AIMIM chief in the upcoming elections, saying that Owaisi won the election dishonestly. He said that Asaduddin Owaisi will lose this time by 1,50,000 votes. Accusing Owaisi of getting fake votes, he said, ‘If we had fake votes, we could have won continuously for 4,000 years. But what to do! We don’t have fake votes. Owaisi has 6,20,000 voters.

Who is Madhavi Lata?

Professional Bharatanatyam dancer Madhavi Lata was not active in politics earlier. However, due to many factors, BJP has made him a candidate to fight against Owaisi. BJP has never employed any woman in Hyderabad. Madhavi Lata is said to be active in philanthropic activities in some parts of the old city. Through its actions, the party is trying to take advantage of Muslim votes. Madhavi Lata, known for her pro-Hindutva speeches, also campaigned against triple talaq.

Lata is a fierce critic of AIMIM

Madhavi Lata organizes education, health and food distribution programs through her organization. She helps the needy by making a missed call to her mobile number. After the BJP announced him as its candidate, he added “Mission Hyderabad Parliament” to his social media profile. A staunch critic of AIMIM, Lata says the party has never tried to improve poverty and poor civic facilities in the constituency.

A political science graduate from Koti Women’s College, Lata is succeeding where BJP stalwarts like Venkaiah Naidu have failed in the past. She is also the Chairperson of Virinchi Hospital, Hyderabad, founded by her husband Vishwanath. He is also a religious speaker and often speaks on Hindu topics.

Hyderabad is the stronghold of AIMIM

AIMIM has maintained its hold in Hyderabad in every election since 1984. In 2019, it defeated Owaisi Bhagwant Rao of the BJP by 2.82 lakh votes and in 2014, it defeated its nearest rival by 2.02 lakh votes. Asaduddin Owaisi’s father Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi was elected from Hyderabad 6 times. In 1996, he defeated senior BJP leader M. Venkaiah Naidu. Salahuddin Owaisi did not stand in the elections in 2004 due to ill health and since then Asaduddin Owaisi has been representing the constituency.
