Gatering votes to save Asaduddin Owaisi ! Cong decides not to field a candidate from Hyderabad
It should be noted that the decision to support Owaisi has come as a surprise for many as the Grand Old Party has always considered him as BJP’s B-team, as officially stated multiple times by Congress. Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi have targeted BJP and Owaisi on several occasions.

It seems that after the BJP fielded Kompella Madhavi Latha against Asaduddin Owaisi, the Congress in a bid to help Owaisi achieve their mutual goal of targeting BJP on the political turf, has decided to not field any candidate in Hyderabad, aiming for no division of voters amongst themselves.

While addressing a Press Conference, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee’s General Secretary Mohammed Feroz Khan claimed that the majority of seats in Telangana would be won by Congress. “Talking about Hyderabad city, there are Secunderabad and Hyderabad Lok Sabha (seats). My constituency is in Secunderabad and not in Hyderabad. Hyderabad Owaisi will win because there is a compromise between AIMIM and the Congress Party. So there is an understanding. Asaduddin will inevitably win Hyderabad.”
Congress will back AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi in the upcoming polls.

In Telangana, out of 17 MPs, around 14 or 13 MPs will be won by the Congress. In Hyderabad, Asaduddin Owaisi will win because AIMIM had a compromise with Congress..: @ferozkhaninc tells @sowmith7.

Reacting to the reports of Congress supporting Asaduddin Owaisi, BJP’s candidate from Hyderabad Kompella Madhavi Latha wrote on X, “Congress was in alliance with AIMIM but claims that it’s Bjp B Team, CPI is part of INDI Alliance in Bengal but not in Kerala, AAP has alliance in Delhi but not in Punjab. The problem with congress is that its not clear what to do. Congress Mukt Bharat = Progress Yukt Bharat.”
Though Congress is supporting Owaisi in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections, the party leaders have repeatedly claimed BJP and Owaisi have some sort of alliance. In November 2023, while campaigning for Telangana Assembly Elections, Gandhi said, “There are two friends of Modi, Owaisi and KCR!”.
