Eatala’s bluff stands exposed before people, TRS says

Hyderabad: The TRS on Monday said former minister Eatala Rajender and his bluff stand exposed before the people as he had joined BJP, the very party which he called ‘anti-people’s party’ not long ago. The party also said Eatala had deceived the people of Huzurabad constituency by joining the BJP. Energy minister G Jagadish Reddy said Eatala owed an explanation to the people of Huzurabad as to what prompted him to join the BJP. “He had criticised the Centre on farm bills earlier and has joined the BJP now. He has no moral right to talk about KCR or TRS as the Telangana government has been implementing welfare schemes for the last seven years,” he said. Addressing a press conference along with party MLAs Gadari Kishore, Malliah Yadav, P Sekhar Reddy, Bhaskar Rao and MP Badugula Lingiah Yadav, Jagadish Reddy said: “The BJP is a sinking boat and whoever boards the boat would also meet the same fate.” He said there would be no impact on the TRS with Eatala leaving the party. “People of the constituency are with KCR and the TRS.” At another press meet in Karimnagar, BC welfare minister Gangula Kamalakar called Eatala a liar. He said the TRS party’s B-form is like a Bhagvadgita and the party leadership did not have the culture to defeat a candidate to whom a B-form had been given to contest in the elections. Speaking at a party workers’ meeting in Huzurabad, the minister alleged Eatala tried to split the party with his ‘covert politics’.
