Surprisingly,
madhavi latha was awarded the
hyderabad MP ticket by the Bharatiya Janata Party. The
party suddenly decided to offer her the ticket even though she wasn't the front-runner. Nonetheless, the choice was not warmly received by the senior
bjp officials in Hyderabad. They are not supporting
madhavi Latha's campaign since they disagree with the choice. For the past forty years,
hyderabad has served as the AIMIM's stronghold. Since 1984, Salauddin and Asaduddin Owaisi,
father and son, have consistently won the seat. The
bjp has placed
madhavi latha up for
election in an attempt to unseat Asaduddin.
The top
bjp officials in each of the seven seats that make up the
hyderabad Parliament area were not consulted, according to the
local bjp leaders. They claim that
kishan reddy mentioned
madhavi Latha's name without consulting the community's elders,
raja Singh, the
mla for Goshamahal.
raja Singh had initially anticipated a ticket to
hyderabad as well.
He reportedly disagrees with the high command's choice. Consequently, not even he is endorsing
madhavi Latha.
madhavi latha and a handful of her
party members and supporters have been out campaigning. Senior
local leaders are not present at her campaigns. Shiv Prakash, the Joint General Secretary of the
bjp, will convene a Parliamentary
review meeting in
hyderabad this
evening at
madhavi Latha's office. Senior leaders are reportedly missing this meeting as well. This time, the
bjp has been attempting to steal
hyderabad from Owaisi, but internal strife is hurting the party's prospects in the area.
