Both belong to the same party. Both are former ministers. Both represented the same constituency at different points of time. But, despite being in the same area at the same time, both leaders had separate programmes and did not even try to meet and greet each other.
Eatala Rajender, who has just joined the BJP and former minister Enugala Peddireddy, who was a former minister and now incharge of the BJP in Huzurabad, were in the constituency on Thursday. But, both did not make an effort to come together. While Eatala had organised a massive rally, Peddireddy was busy calling on the families of his friends, who have passed away recently. Rajender, who has recently resigned from the TRS after he was shocked, toured Jammikunta and Huzurabad and sought the support of the people in the upcoming bypolls. Peddireddy has announced that he would contest elections from Huzurabad and seek votes on the basis of the work he had done. In fact, Peddireddy has never reconciled to Eatala’s entry into the TRS. He has openly opposed his joining the BJP.
There were reports that Peddireddy would join the TRS once Eatala joined the BJP. Some of Peddireddy’s followers had even joined the TRS. But, his entry into the TRS seems to have taken a backseat for the present. The TRS wants to project a BC face against Rajender. Peddireddy’s caste does not fit into the TRS scheme of things. So, Peddireddy remains in the BJP but is opposed to Eatala.
