There is trouble brewing in Telangana BJP after reports that new entrant to the party, and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender may be made campaign committee chief in the run-up to the Assembly election in the State later this year, a situation strongly resented by BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar.
Senior sources in the BJP have told The Hindu that Mr. Kumar has been given enough indications by Sunil Bansal, BJP general secretary in charge of Telangana, that Mr. Rajender’s appointment would be announced soon. “Ever since then, he has kept away from the State unit office, and public appearances, and apart from working hard for Home Minister Amit Shah’s public meeting in Khammam on June 15, he is basically not otherwise involved in party work,” said a source.
