Hyderabad, July 1 (IANS). Telangana BJP leader and social activist Madhavi Latha has won gold medal in the 12th Telangana State Shooting Championship.
Madhavi Lata performed brilliantly in the 25 meter pistol (Masters Women) competition held at SATS Shooting Range, Gachibowli, Hyderabad. He stood first by scoring 245 marks out of 300.
Explaining what inspired her to get into shooting, Madhavi Latha recalls her NCC cadet days.

Madhavi Lata has contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as a BJP candidate from Hyderabad seat.
He said that his return to the shooting range was inspired by the thought that public representatives should become examples for the society.
He said, “A politician should be courageous and associated with sports so that he can become an inspiration for the people. I asked myself why should age be a barrier? If your mind is ready then you can achieve anything.”
Madhavi Lata also gave credit for her success to her coach Prasanna.
