How will Etela cross Peddireddy barrier in BJP?
X
Opposition to Etela Rajender's attempts to join the BJP is growing. Several party seniors are said to be miffed at his attempts to join the BJP. Ever since Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay announced that Etela will join the BJP, there is unrest in former minister Inugala Peddireddy's camp. On Friday, several of his close camp followers have joined the TRS to show their disapproval of Etela's attempts to join BJP.

Peddireddy represents Huzurabad and was minister for two terms. However, after the TDP faded away in Telangana, he joined the BJP. He is unhappy that his rival Etela will join the party. This automatically means that Etela will be given primacy in Huzurabad and he will have to move to some other constituency. Unhappy at not being consulted over the issue, Peddireddy reportedly decided to join the TRS. If all goes well, he might soon join the TRS in KCR's presence.

Meanwhile, two sitting BJP corporators in Huzurabad – Pratapa Manjula and D Shobha – joined the TRS in the presence of minister Gangula Kamalakar . Several more BJP leaders, including former corporators, too have joined the TRS. In another development, several Etela supporters too have moved away from him and have announced that they will stick with the TRS. Even before he joined the BJP, Etela seems to be facing several challenges. How will he manage them is the question.
