It is final and fixed. Etela Rajender the disgruntled leader from TRS will be joining the BJP soon and the announcement will come on the 4th according to sources in Delhi.
Etela is playing his cards close to his chest. He returned from Delhi to Hyderabad this morning and was given a warm welcome by his followers.
Etela did not speak anything to the media and he was looking tense.
Vivek Venkat Swamy who changed parties from time to time has been instrumental in getting Rajendar into the BJP fold. Vivek tried for Vishweshwar Reddy also, but Vishweshwar is sitting like a cat on the wall.
It is reported that the BJP will not have a truck with TRS shortly and BJP Nation Chief JP Nadda has given the assurance to Etela to this extent.
This made Etela agree for joining the BJP. People who have objected to Etela coming into the party have been convinced by Bandi Sanjay the party chief. Etela will have all the importance in the party for the time being.
It all depends on how Etela will get adjust to the situation at the party. People like Parakala Prabhakar who were very sober could not adjust with the old-timers in the party.
We have to see how Etela is going to get along with the leaders in the BJP who call the shots daily.
