Hyderabad Lok Sabha Election Results 2024: Asaduddin Owaisi vs Madhavi Latha Battle for Dominance
The fight for dominance in the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat has captured the attention of the nation, pitting veteran politician Asaduddin Owaisi against BJP challenger Madhavi Latha. The historical constituency in Telangana, with a significant Muslim population, is witnessing a high-stakes battle between the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Madhavi Latha, also known as Kompella Madhavi Latha, is the first woman candidate fielded by the BJP in Hyderabad, aiming to challenge Owaisi’s long-standing dominance. Her campaign has highlighted her association with PM Narendra Modi and her dedication to promoting Sanatan Dharma.
On the other hand, Asaduddin Owaisi, a seasoned politician and chief of AIMIM, has held a firm grip on the Hyderabad seat for years. His strong presence in the region has made him a formidable force in local politics.
Madhavi Latha, a native of Santoshnagar Colony and wife of Vishwanath, an engineer from IIT Madras and founder of Virinchi Hospital, brings a fresh perspective to the political landscape of Hyderabad. Her initiatives through Lopamudra Charitable Trust and Lathama Foundation have garnered attention.
As the counting of votes progresses, the political climate in Telangana remains tense. News18‘s projections suggest that BJP’s attempt to overthrow Owaisi may face challenges, with Congress and BRS also vying for significant positions in the electoral race.
