Etela Rajender who is running from pillar to post for getting support from the leaders of his constituency was approached by the BJP it is reported.
A senior leader from Delhi has held talks with Etela at a farmhouse for about 2 hours. Etela was promised everything for joining the party. But Etela is in two minds he did not confirm if he would join the party.
Union Minister of State for Home Kishan Reddy also impressed upon Etela, but nothing has been finalised as yet. Etela first wants to win the election an MLA on his own and then would decide on which party to join for his political future.
Etela will not join Congress as the party is in ICU in all the states. There is no hope of a bright future in Congress. There is a talk that Vishweshwar Reddy and Etela might join the BJP if Etela wins again.
Taking the present scenario into serious account, it may not be that easy for the Senior MLA Etela to win again. He has won several times, but this time it will be an uphill task against all odds for Etela.
There could be a lot of changes in the coming 6 months in state politics. Etela and Vishweshwar are weighing the options of coming up with a new political party.
KCR earlier pooh-poohed the idea of Sharmila and also Etela for thinking of a new political party. Starting a new political party is not like starting a Pan Dabba he ridiculed.
But new parties will only consolidate the position of the TRS. The opposition vote gets divided. Right now KCR and TRS are very strong and we have to see what is going to happen in the coming 3 years time.
