Lok Sabha Elections 2024: There is a possibility of country’s veteran tennis player Sania Mirza directly clashing with veteran AIAIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad. According to our partner website Moneycontrol, something big is going to happen in Hyderabad politics this time. According to the report, tennis sensation Sania Mirza can give a direct competition to Asaduddin Owaisi in this election. According to the report, Congress party wants to take advantage of Sania Mirza’s popularity and hence it wants to field her against Asaduddin Owaisi from Hyderabad. If this happens then the contest from Hyderabad is going to be very interesting because Asaduddin Owaisi has been winning continuously for the last four elections.
Azharuddin has proposed
Sources in the Congress Party have informed that recently a meeting of the Central Election Committee of the Congress Party was held in Delhi. In this the names of Lok Sabha candidates were finalized. In this meeting, Mohammad Azharuddin had proposed to give ticket to Sania Mirza from Hyderabad. Mohammad Azharuddin has family relations with Sania Mirza. Azharuddin’s son Asaduddin is married to Sania Mirza’s younger sister Anam Mirza. The Lok Sabha seat of Hyderabad has special significance as it is known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse demographic characteristics. This seat has always been the stronghold of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM). However, recently this area has proved to be very good for Congress in which AIMIM has faced a strong challenge. In this respect, the ground of Hyderabad has become very special this time.
Asaduddin Owaisi’s stronghold
Before this, the last time Congress had won the Hyderabad seat was in 1980 when KS Narayan had won from here. After this, in 1984, Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi won this seat as an independent and later between 1989 and 1999, he became MP from here on AIMIM ticket. After this, Sultan Salahuddin’s elder son Asaduddin Owaisi became the face of the party and since then he has been continuously elected as MP from here. In the last Lok Sabha elections of 2019, Asaduddin Owaisi got 5.17 lakh votes, which is 59 percent of the total vote percentage. Whereas Congress candidate Firoz Khan got only 49 thousand votes from here. Since Congress party is in power in Telangana, this time Congress wants to capitalize on its victory in Hyderabad. But it will not be so easy because it was not successful in the assembly seats falling under Hyderabad Lok Sabha and AIMIM had won 6 out of 7 seats while BJP had won on one seat.
Challenge for Sania
Political analysts believe that the Congress party wants to capitalize on the popularity of Sania Mirza. Sania Mirza is also the brand ambassador of Hyderabad city under Bharat Rashtra Samiti. Since she is a woman and from the minority community, in this respect she fits into the mold of Congress. However, after the discussion on Sania Mirza, AIMIM leaders have refused to say anything. He believes that Hyderabad seat is suitable for AIMIM. There is a lot of curiosity among the people of the city after Sania Mirza’s name came up. Certainly, she is quite popular but if she comes to the field of politics then it is new for her and she is going to face a veteran. Therefore it can be quite challenging.
