Podcast interview of Madhavi Latha with Sushant Sinha in which Madhavi made numerous major revelations due to the Lok Sabha elections held in Hyderabad. Madhavi Lata claimed that bogus voting took place in Hyderabad, and injustice was done to me. Asaduddin Owaisi’s polling agent was using abusive language against me. During voting, the female police personnel did not properly check the identity of the women who came to vote wearing burqas. When I raised an objection to this, they said that we had not received any such order from the higher authority.
She further says, ‘Section 144 was to be imposed, and there such a large number of people were climbing on me, abusing me, threatening to kill me. All this administration is in the hands of the Election Commission, I messaged Hyderabad Election Commission Vikash Raj ji and called him 18 times but I did not get any answer or support from their side. At many places the agent was being threatened, when I tried to go and find out, so many goons were chasing us on motorcycles.’
