Gangula Kmalakar used to talk to the Huzurabad constituency leaders until recently, but with Gangula not being of much help in keeping Etala Rajender away, Chief Minister KCR is said to have decided to deploy Minister Harish Rao into the game.
All the Huzurabad leaders are now talking to Harish Rao, and even Gangula is said to be consulting with Harish Rao now.
It has been reported that TRS leaders have been told to meet with Harish Rao and pledge their loyalty to the TRS party, and to make it clear that they are not in cahoots with Etala Rajender.
Etala, who came to know of this, even challenged Harish Rao recently, asking Harish Rao to contest in Huzurabad against him and win. Etala challenged Harish to do this and made a sarcastic comment about Harish being known to win wherever he goes.
TRS members are also contemplating and discussing the various reasons for KCR bringing Harish into the picture, to save the day. It is being believed that KCR brought in Harish as he, along with Etala, was by KCR’s side, during their struggle for Telangana.
With Gangula not being able to connect with the people, KCR is to have supposedly thought that Harish would be able to connect with the people and be able to control the damage, given that Etala is now using his time to get into the people.
Once upon a time, it was believed that KCR kept Etala at arm’s length due to his close relation with Harish Rao. With the current circumstances, it seems as though that was right in fact. With so much going on inside TRS, it will be interesting to see what political repercussions it will result in.
