Clash of Titans: KCR vs Etela Rajender. BJP MLA from Huzurabad and former minister, Etala Rajender, unequivocally announced his intention to challenge Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao by running in the Gajwel constituency. This declaration came as he oversaw preparations for the party"s upcoming elections.
In response to Minister Gangula Kamalakar's recent dare to contest from a single constituency, Etela Rajender revealed that a staggering Rs. 100 crores were expended to thwart his victory in the Huzurabad by-elections.
Furthermore, he recounted how the entire cabinet and multiple MLAs collaborated to deploy various strategies to defeat him during that by-election. Consequently, his determination now lies in defeating KCR in Gajwel, and he has firmly asserted his candidacy in the Gajwel constituency.
Nevertheless, there appears to be a lingering indecision on Etela Rajender's part regarding whether he will contest from Gajwel or Kamareddy, both of which are constituencies KCR is also contesting in. Evidently, Etela is resolute in causing KCR considerable electoral discomfort, prioritizing the demonstration of his public support. This assertive move is generating significant interest, and we eagerly await the unfolding developments.
Speculation has run rife regarding Etela's choice of constituency, even fueling rumors of his wife's candidacy in Huzurabad. However, Etela has now provided clarity by specifying his preferred seat.
