A close battle is likely to be witnessed in Hyderabad today between BJP’s Kompella Madhavi Latha and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi, who is also a four-time MLA from the same constituency. The Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded a vocal proponent of Sanatan Dharma and traditional values from Hyderabad, making the contest a tough fight.
Notably, this is the first time that the saffron party has fielded a woman from the seat, known to be AIMIM bastion.
Urging everyone to vote, Latha said, “I only have to tell all the voters that it is the responsibility of every citizen that they need to go out to vote because the vote brings two changes — a new change and development towards themselves and their families, and it gives an opportunity to change the lives of downtrodden, Dalits, poor and the lives of every elderly people who have been abandoned.”
“Vote is the most precious social work along with a selfish desire to move towards development,” she added.
Meanwhile, Owaisi after casting his vote told reporters, “Every election cannot be the same as it was five years ago. The challenges are different, issues are different. This is a very important, historic parliamentary election in our country…People have a different understanding and what they want for the country.”
Further launching an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the AIMIM chief said, “The message (to PM Modi) would be that people do not agree with BJPs ideology and people do not agree with his statements given on minority community.”
“Please understand what PM Modi has done with Agniveer, he is now going to go ahead and do the same if he comes back to power with BSF, CRPF, RPF and SSP. Four years of service and you are out. People must understand that it will come out very soon,” he added.
