Recently an out-of-favour BJP leader organized a mock assembly to put the TRS on the dock. The aim was to expose the failures of the TRS government. The said leader contacted several college students and brought in leaders from various parties to make this programme a grand success. The programme, held in Osmania University, was a great success.
But, the meeting turned out to be a headache for the said leader. The reason? He invited Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender as a guest for the programme. What more? He made Eatala the chief minister for the mock-assembly. This was enough for the seniors in the BJP, especially the state president, to see red. They reportedly were upset at Eatala being called the CM. They felt this was a deliberate attempt to belittle the state president.
There was another reason to be upset. There is an increasing buzz within the BJP about Eatala being the CM Material. So, a section of the party feels that the BJP leader has deliberately insulted Bandi Sanjay by making Eatala the ‘chief minister’ . Significantly, the same leader was asked to give an explanation over his actions during a meeting with KTR.
The leader had met KTR recently in connection with the unanimous election of a division in the GHMC. During the talks, KTR reportedly made some disparaging remarks about Bandi Sanjay and that the said leader nodded in agreement over what KCR said. This was taken as an insult to Bandi’s leadership. This “affront” of making Eatala the CM has added fuel to fire.
