4-time MP and President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi has never contested the Hyderabad Lok Sabha elections, but has won. The margin of victory is also in lakhs. No party could field such a strong candidate that he would have to contest the elections. That's why he has been undefeated for 20 years. His father had also been winning like this for 20 years. However, this time the case is different. His direct contest is with Dr. Madhavi Lata of BJP. She is new to politics, but adept at oratory. Then, to win for the fifth time, Owaisi has to contest the elections boldly.
Hyderabadis have been having political relations with the Owaisi family for three generations. Current MP Owaisi's grandfather Abdul Wahid Owaisi started politics in 1957 from Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. He united the scattered Majlis and the community into one thread. Owaisi's father Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi was elected MP 6 times consecutively from 1980 to 1999. Owaisi's political path was always full of flowers.
Senior journalist Rajendra says that Owaisi's father was given a strong challenge from BJP's Venkaiah Naidu in 1996 and B.Bal Reddy in 1999. Then, the distance kept increasing. In 2008, delimitation of Hyderabad seat took place and Tandur, Vikarabad and Chevalla assembly constituencies of rural area were cut off. Due to which Hyderabad seat was limited to the old city. It is very difficult to defeat them from here.
The strong reason behind this argument is that Owaisi's party is in control of 6 out of seven assembly seats in Hyderabad. His brother Akbaruddin Owaisi is the MLA from Chandrayangutta here. BJP won only from Goshamahal, where MLA T. Raja Singh himself was seeking Lok Sabha ticket, but the party gave it to Dr. Madhavi Latha. He is apparently unhappy with this.
This is not the challenge for BJP. Owaisi won the last election by 2.5 lakh votes. It is not easy to bridge this gap. Madhavi Lata is alleging that Owaisi is winning with the help of fake votes. However, this time thousands of votes have also been deducted. Despite this, the opponents are fully aware of Owaisi's strength. Then, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur also conducted a road show for the nomination of Madhavi Lata. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has even organized the enlightened conference. Programs of many leaders including National President JP Nadda are also fixed. It is clear that BJP is not going to leave open field for Owaisi.
Owaisi is also understanding the latest challenges. Then, to maintain the enthusiasm of his supporters, for the first time he took out a procession and completed his nomination. Slogans like Beef Shop Zindabad have also been raised during street campaigning. When criticized, he clarified that it is also called Idli Shop Zindabad. His supporters are excited due to the heating of the election atmosphere.
Arguments of victory and defeat: Syed Arbaaz of Santosh Nagar says that petrol may run out in the country, but not Owaisi from Hyderabad. His victory is certain. People vote for him because he is a Muslim. The BJP candidate's hint of firing arrows at a religious place is going to hit him. Venkatesh, met at Charminar, says that Owaisi wins because Muslims are not even educated. Owaisi is winning again...? Hotelier Kadeeruddin says about this, what difference does it make? Prime Minister Modi is also doing Hindu-Muslim, Owaisi too. Look where unemployment has come. Has it decreased by building temples and mosques? It seems to me that I have got both.
Madhavi Lata's arrow pierced everyone: The news says that on the day of Ram Navami, the echo of Madhavi Lata's arrow is all around in Begum Bazaar area. Keeping this arrow in his election quiver, Owaisi targeted the BJP. Said that this is proof of BJP's hate spreading mentality. By the way, Madhavi Lata has also started feeling the prick of this arrow. He gave clarification by calling it 'arrow of peace' and even apologized. The reason behind Madhavi's relenting is the Pasmanda Muslims, whose support she is still struggling to get.
Congress-BRS candidates looked like dummies: Not only this, Congress, which called Owaisi as BJP's B-team, could never field a strong candidate against him. Same is the situation with BRS also. It is said that no matter what Owaisi says openly, he always cooperates with whoever is in power in Telangana. Earlier he was close to BRS, now he is close to Congress. Madhavi Lata says, Congress has appointed District President Mohd. Waliullah Sameer has been introduced in dummy form only. BRS to G. Srinivas Yadav is also a candidate in name only.
