Former Health Minister of Telangana, Etela Rajender has been doing a Padayatra in the Huzurabad constituency for the past few days. This “Praja Deevena Padayatra” was started by Etela after he resigned from his post as the MLA of the constituency after he was insulted in the TRS.
Now, Etela has taken a break from the Padayatra after he fell ill due to the current climatic conditions, and because of walking continuously through the scorching sun, rains and changing temperatures. Doctors examined him at the Kondapaka village in Veenavanka Mandal of the Huzurabad constituency and determined that he is very weak and that his ankle is also strained due to all the walking.
It is now being said that Etela’s wife Jamuna Reddy will be continuing the padayatra in her husband’s stead and that he would join the padayatra after he is well, along with his wife. There are also speculations that Jamuna will be contesting from the Huzurabad constituency, instead of Etela, from the BJP. While Etela is trying to get close to the people of Huzurabad by his Padayatra, the TRS too is trying its best to get the approval of the people of the constituency.
