Hyderabad: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader K Madhavi Latha, in her speech after losing to AIMIM party chief Asaduddin Owaisi for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, addressed queries about Goshamahal BJP MLA Raja Singh’s disapproval of her candidature.
Expressing gratitude towards the general public for their support, Madhavi Latha said that she would continue to work for the people who have supported her.
While answering questions on dissent over her candidature within the BJP, Madhavi Latha said, “It is their right to decide whether to support or not. I called everyone to be a part of my campaign, those who wanted to come and support me did and the ones who were negative didn’t come. It is their own wish and decision.”
“The whole world knows that I got votes honestly and not through cheating like others. To win against me people had to run around begging for votes, I am happy I proved a challenging candidate for a rival party. People voted for me after reading my intentions and wanted to support me,” Madhavi Latha added.
Madhavi Latha said that for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, 3,23,894 people voted for the BJP, including around 3,000 government employees who voted through postal ballot.
“I am an MP for all these people, I will also be available for all these people for them throughout their lives. I am a family member for them irrespective of whether I lost the election. Actually, it is a major achievement for me to get over 3 lakh votes in Hyderabad,” said Madhavi Latha.
Madhavi Latha has been controversial due to her actions in the run-up to the Lok Sabha election and also on polling day when she began asking Muslim women in Burqa to show their faces, alleging they were fake voters. She was booked in two cases at two police stations.
