Battle for Hyderabad | 'Owaisi brothers turned rich but ditched fellow Muslims'

New Delhi, Apr 13: As the General Elections draw near, Hyderabad is one constituency which has garnered lot of attention because of heavyweight candidates, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi and BJP's K Madhavi Latha, making lot of waves despite her poll debut.

The battle for Hyderabad has only got fiercer with BJP candidate Madhavi Latha launching a no-holds barred attack on the incumbent MP, giving jitters to the party.

Madhavi Latha, in an exclusive interview to IANS revealed party’s plans to take on the incumbent MP in 2024 polls and also batted for Hyderabad's name change, claiming that it will undo the ‘sins of past’.

Latha claimed that Asaduddin Owaisi has brotherly ties with the Congress and it is only getting stronger by the day. She said that she hasn't met the Owaisi brothers but if she wins the elections from Hyderabad, she will first free the land appropriated under the Waqf Board, by Owaisi brothers.

She said that the BJP is canvassing before the people to win their support with its progressive policies.

"Unlike Opposition’s attempt to generate fear in the electorate, we have focused our campaign around love and respect for human values," she said.

BJP candidate said that both Asaduddin Owaisi and Akbaruddin Owaisi used to live in rented accommodations earlier but are now living in a bungalow sprawling over 7 acres.

“They have become Ambani of Muslims. They claim themselves to be saviour of Muslim community but the reality is that they ditched their community, made themselves rich and betrayed the common Muslims,” said BJP nominee from Hyderabad.
