Eatala Rajender alleges arm-twisting methods by Minister Gangula Kamalakar to separate his followers from him
“It is an attack on a herd of sheep by wolf,” was how former Minister Eatala Rajender described the meeting of Civil Supplies Minister Gangula Kamalakar with the former’s supporters in his native constituency Huzurabad to extract a promise from them that they would stand by TRS and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Mr. Rajender released a video saying Mr. Kamalakar was threatening his supporters who were all elected representatives that they would lose their posts, their bills would not be paid and that works in their villages would be stopped if they continued to toe his line. He also asked if Mr. Kamalakar was given an exemption from the Chief Minister’s instructions to Ministers that they should focus solely on anti-Covid measures in their respective districts. Instead of complying with the instructions, Mr. Kamalakar was up to poaching his supporters. By another video, Mr. Rajender said he had protected his followers in the last two decades like a hen spreading its wings over the chicks. Now, Mr. Kamalakar who was nowhere in the separate Telangana movement tried to separate him from followers.

The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
