Madhavi Lata, BJP's candidate for the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, has been bestowed with Y+ security category following the Home Ministry's review of credible threat reports. In the political pits, Lata challenges Asaduddin Owaisi, a formidable contender.
The Y+ category security entails an eleven-member armed police commando team, including five static guards at the VIP's residence, complemented by six Personal Security Officers (PSOs) working in tri-shift rotations to ensure round-the-clock protection.
In recent political currents, Madhavi Lata surged into the headlines when the BJP anchored her candidacy against Asaduddin Owaisi. Lata is recognised as an ardent proponent of Hindutva, having earned plaudits from Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. The Hyderabad stronghold, often viewed as an AIMIM bastion, has seen the Owaisi family's political reign since 1984.
The Owaisi legacy on this seat began with Asaduddin Owaisi's father, Sultan Salahuddin, clinching victory in 1984. Post two decades of parliamentary tenure, the baton has been passed to Asaduddin Owaisi, who now faces a significant challenge from Madhavi Lata in this election sorcery.
