Owaisi can be defeated if impersonation is checked: BJP

BJP national minority morcha president Jamal Siddiqui has claimed that if the party functionaries are alert and prevent the impersonation of women voters in the veil (burqa), Majlis Party leader Asaduddin Owaisi can be easily defeated by party candidate K. Madhavi Latha in the Lok Sabha polls this time from Hyderabad Parliament constituency.

Addressing a press conference at the State office on Saturday, Mr. Siddiqui was sure that if there is a proper check on impersonation, the party candidate can win with a majority of up to two lakh votes in the constituency. Unlike before, the party has also formed booth committees in parts where it was non-existent before with hope to reap benefits.

“Mr. Owaisi has only brought disrepute to our community and Hyderabad city across the country. If the family stranglehold on the poor and their alleged land grabbing activities can be exposed, people will be with us. The constituency can be developed by the Modi government much more than what the Owaisi family has done over the years,” he maintained.
