How BJP’s trying to broker peace between state chief & ‘Eatala faction’ in splintered Telangana unit
In telangana, which is headed for elections, the bjp is struggling to hold its flock together due to simmering animosity between state president bandi sanjay kumar and dissatisfied leaders Eatala Rajender and K. raj Gopal Reddy. amit shah, the union home minister, and J.P. Nadda, the president of the bjp, met with Bandi and the "Eatala faction" of the state unit separately during the past several days in New delhi in an effort to mediate peace for the second time in two months.
According to bjp sources, Shah ordered Eatala and reddy at their meeting on saturday "to shun differences and work unitedly" to overthrow the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) administration in Telangana. Similar to this, Shah and Nadda met with Bandi on tuesday and reportedly urged him to reach out to the feuding faction and include all leaders in the battle against the BRS. Eatala, a huzurabad mla for the bjp who once served in the BRS and was regarded as a close friend of chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), was in the BRS. In 2021, he joined the BJP. reddy, a former mla and MP, too departed from the congress and joined the BJP.
The directives from the bjp top command coincide with a vigorous congress campaign in telangana and speculation that reddy and Eatala would leave the party. Both politicians have lately skipped party meetings in the state and even Nadda's rally on sunday in telangana, raising concerns about their waning loyalty to the party. According to party insiders, Nadda made "back-to-back calls to Eatala to visit New delhi for a consultation" before the meeting on saturday between the senior bjp leaders and Eatala.
According to the sources, Eatala and reddy raised worry to the party's high command over the telangana cadre's belief that the bjp was "going soft on the BRS" and that a "understanding" had been reached between the two parties for a portion of the meeting. bjp state in-charges sunil Bansal and tarun Chugh, as well as Union minister G. Kishan reddy, also attended the meeting. The bjp high leadership is aware of the party's circumstances in the state, according to Eatala.
