Things are hotting up between TRS stalwart from Karimnagar Etela Rajendra and the TRS top family. Rajendra is increasingly coming round to the feeling that both KCR and KTR want to sideline him. So, he made some very strong but indirect comments against KCR and KTR. He said he is a self-made leader and did not need anyone's mercy to grow. This comment is seen as a direct attack on the TRS first family. Though he has made amends by saying that he is a loyal TRS worker and would work come what may, the damage is done. There are rumours that he could even be dropped from the ministry.
One party that is keenly watching the developments in the TRS and the next moves of Etela is the BJP. The BJP feels that if thrown out of the TRS, Etela will have no option but to come closer to the BJP. So, BJP is keeping an eye on Etela, who without doubt would be a prize catch for the party. Etela has no major corruption charges against him and is immensely popular in Huzurabad. If he joins the BJP, it would considerably strengthen the party. Not just that , it would even open the flood gates from the TRS. There are many more dissidents who are just waiting for the right opportunity to rebel against the autocratic KCR and his son KTR.
Meanwhile, Etela is having a steady stream of visitors at his home. He is meeting everyone and is discussing the political scenario with them. He is gearing up to have a wider consultation before taking the plunge when it becomes inevitable.
