Speaking to ANI, Madhavi spoke on the tremendous victory of BJP.and losing against Owaisi. Latha reflected on the party's approach to political battles, drawing parallels to the Mahabharata epic. She asserted BJP's commitment to a direct confrontation, likening it to the straightforward tactics of the Pandavas. She said, "BJP as a party only know how to fight straight forward war. The Pandavas of Mahabharata only knew how to do a Yuddha straight forward but Kaurava knew how to do the same work the other way, they knew how to hit from back. Pandavas did win the Kurukshetra war field but they have lost their kin. They have lost Panch Pandavas who are their own children. They have lost Abhimanyu, a big warrior. So even history tells us that between the war of truth and injustice, the truth has to shell down and sacrifice some amount of their kin. We have to sacrifice our beloved voters because of the wrong allegations, wrong misinterpretations, and wrong communication that has been passed onto those simple, poor, insecure people of this country. But I am sure still the truth wins, justice wins and it prevails. That's the reason BJP has come back to power..."
