Bypoll is result of differences between KCR and Eatala over ‘sharing’
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president A. Revanth Reddy has exhorted the people of Huzurabad to vote for the Congress as party candidate Balmuri Venkat was committed to fight for their cause for the next few decades.
Addressing a public meeting to mark the conclusion of the party’s campaign in Huzurabad on Wednesday, he said the byelection was thrust upon the people owing to differences between former TRS minister and BJP candidate Eatala Rajender and TRS president K. Chandradekhar Rao over “sharing of the proceeds”. “Mr. Rajender was a close aide of Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao till the other day,” he said.
He launched a trenchant attack on the BJP candidate for seeking votes from the people. “Did Mr. Rajender speak about fee reimbursement? Did he speak about unemployment any time before leaving the TRS?” he asked. The TRS president on his part advised the farmers against opting for paddy claiming that it was suicidal.
