Etela Rajender the former MLA from Huzurabadis joining the BJP in the Presence of Nationa Chief Nadda here in Delhi. He is in Delhi with around 180 followers. Etela went to Delhi in a special flight in the leadership of Vivek Venkatswamy.
But how far will Etela continue in the BJP is a big question. The BJP in Telangana is like a small budget movie and they have all the restrictions. Some leaders joined the party earlier with all enthusiasm, but later they were sidelined and kept in the loop line.
That is the culture of the state BJP. When Bandi Sanjay is not able to do anything, what can Etela do by joining the BJP is the question. Maybe he can protect his lands and property.
But as an Individual leader, he cannot grow in the party. Ever since Tiger Narendra days, the party has been like that. They just give tickets in the name of BJP and leave the candidates in the lurch.
People like Narendra were forced to leave the BJP and join the TRS. Dr Laxman, Kishan Reddy are the old-timers who are calling the shots in the party.
The party Chief Bandi Sanjay had no information when the BJP leaders met KTR for a corporator issue in Pragathi Bhavan. Ramchandra Rao could have won the MLC seat from Hyderabad recently if there was unity in the party.
The state BJP is like crabs pulling each other down. Most of them believe in using media for survival. They just come out during the elections and do not spend for the party.
People like Bandaru Dattatreya lost the election as they had no money to spend and leaders did not spend money down the line. Even Etela will face the same issues if he joins the BJP.
There will be just initial euphoria and later he has to swim against the tide in the BJP.
