Amid low voter turnout in Hyderabad, volunteers went door-to-door in several localities to urge people to cast their vote in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Madhavi Latha cast her vote at the Amrita Vidyalayam polling station in Hyderabad for the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections and asserted that “Sabka Sath mai hi Sabka Vikas Hai.”
Madhavi Latha is pitted against a formidable opponent in the form of four-time Lok Sabha MP and AIMIM chief, Asaduddin Owaisi, from Hyderabad Lok Sabha Constituency, and BRS’ Gaddam Srinivas Yadav.
This is the first time that the BJP has fielded a female candidate from the Hyderabad constituency. Voting for the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections in 96 Parliamentary Constituencies across nine states and one Union Territory got underway today at 7:00 am.
