Does Etela Rajender have an ace up his sleeve? Is he ready with a huge plan to deliver a stunning blow to the TRS leadership? If joining the BJP the first step in his master strategy? Yes, say those in the know. They say that Etela has something very big which he wants to implement soon after his joining the BJP.
Sources say that at least 18 TRS MLAs are in touch with Etela Rajender. They are said to be talking to him through intermediaries. They are unhappy in the TRS and are waiting for the right time. So, they would desert the TRS at the opportune moment. As of now, several former MLAs, MLCs and other key leaders are said to be in touch with Etela Rajender and they too might ditch the TRS at the right time. Sources say that the defections would be very rightly timed to psychologically weaken the TRS and its leadership. The desertions will be very much like those in West Bengal where each defection has jolted the Trinamool leadership. It is another matter that this did not end up in a positive result for the BJP in the final analysis in West Bengal.
Etela Rajender has already met the BJP top brass and is said to have revealed his game plan to them. They are said to have given a go ahead to him. So, wait for the big bang action in the coming days in Telangana.
