Eatala’s talk of taking on KCR is out of fear: TRS

Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has observed that Huzurabad MLA and BJP leader Eatala Rajender has come to a conclusion now that he can’t win again from Huzurabad and that is the reason he is singing the tune of contesting against Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at Gajwel.

Government Whips Balka Suman and Guvvala Balaraju, MLAs K.P. Vivekanand, Jajula Surender, Nomula Bhagath and Mutha Gopal and MLCs M.S. Prabhakar Rao and Dande Vittal said here on Tuesday that people were laughing at his histrionics as he was practising ‘shikhandi’, an androgynous character in the epic Mahabharata, and resorting to mudslinging on TRS that had given him political life.

He was made an MLA and a Minister subsequently from nowhere as he was not even a ward member before 2004 and in the shade of his political life he had spread his business, the TRS leaders said addressing a press conference here. Claiming himself to be a Communist, Mr. Rajender had become a communalist now and he was trying to gain publicity with his talk of contesting against KCR, if the BJP leadership ordered him.
