Hyderabad. This time the election battle is not going to be very easy for Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad. In front of him, BJP has fielded 49-year-old Kompela Madhavi Latha, director of Virinchi Hospitals, entrepreneur, social worker, popular through interviews on social media. Madhavi Lata is giving a tough fight to Owaisi in his own home by entering the stronghold of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) alias Majlis. After BJP announced their candidature from Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency of Telangana, a fierce tussle has started between the candidates wearing lotus and kite election symbols to break the four decade old monopoly of Owaisi family on Hyderabad in the old city.
AIMIM has been continuously winning from this constituency since 1984. AIMIM’s founding president Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi alias Salar has won this constituency for 6 consecutive elections. Asaduddin Owaisi has taken over the political legacy of his father Salar after his death. Following his father’s footsteps, Asaduddin has been winning this seat in every election since 2004. AIMIM’s victory was not only limited to the Lok Sabha constituency, but it also spread like wildfire to 7 assembly constituencies. Candidates representing AIMIM on 7 seats in Hyderabad Parliamentary constituency are continuously winning in their respective constituencies.
AIMIM’s monopoly in Hyderabad
In view of AIMIM’s monopoly in Hyderabad, other political parties in the state have been fielding their candidates nominally. The parties do not care at all about the victory chances of their candidates. But this time there has been a big change in the political scenario in Hyderabad, when BJP made Madhavi Lata its candidate. Who was born and brought up in this constituency. After this Madhavi Lata said that ‘the party has trusted me a lot and has given me an important responsibility. After campaigning at every door in my constituency, I am confident of my victory in the elections.

This time Hyderabad elections are very interesting
Political analysts are of the opinion that this time the election of Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency is very interesting and Madhavi Lata is going to give a tough competition to Asaduddin Owaisi. Well-known political analyst Dr. Venu Gopal Reddy said that ‘It is not easy for Owaisi to win this time and there is no doubt that the BJP candidate is giving a tough fight to him. She is attracting the attention of the entire country with her campaigning style, oratorical skills and allegations and criticism against AIMIM. This time the competition is quite interesting. According to him, 59 percent voters in Hyderabad constituency are Muslims and the remaining 41 percent are Hindus and other religions. If the voting is fair and 10 percent to 15 percent Muslim votes are attracted to the Congress or won by the BJP, then no one may be surprised by the victory of the BJP candidate.
