Running high temperature, Eatala may take a break from padayatra

Continuous padayatras seem to have taken their toll on BJP leader and Huzurabad bypoll candidate Eatala Rajender. Incessant rains and hot humid weather have affected his health and he is said to be suffering from severe leg pains, cramps and joint pains. According to the doctors attending on him during the padayatra, he is also suffering high fever.

Sources said that the doctors have suggested to him not to go ahead with the padayatra. They suggested that he take a break for a few days. They have also advised him to re-begin his padayatra after he becomes fit again. On Saturday, doctors examined him after he complained of exhaustion. They found that he was running at a high temperature. They suggested that he give a break to the yatra and take adequate rest.

Ever since he resigned from the Telangana assembly and the TRS party, Eatala has embarked on a "Praja Deevena Yatra" in Huzurabad constituency. He has been going round every village and is contacting every house. These yatras are well-attended and give little time for resting and relaxing. Due to the stress and strain, his health has deteriorated, sources say. They said that in place of Eatala, his wife Jamuna Reddy will go ahead with the padayatra. The BJP is making arrangements for her yatra in the constituency. Eatala will rejoin her once his health improves.

Eatala is locked in a bitter battle with the ruling TRS, which has edged him out of the party. The TRS too has deployed a bevy of ministers and MLAs to woo the voters of Huzurabad. Though the bypoll dates are not announced, there is intense political heat in the constituency these days.
