TRS win in Huzurabad certain: Harish

Minister charges Eatala with resigning from the post for selfish motives

Asserting that victory of TRS candidate Gellu Srinivas Yadav from Huzurabad was certain, senior TRS leader and Finance Minister T. Harish Rao said the result of the impending byelection would fulfil people’s aspirations for welfare and development which was only possible through the ruling party. At a public meeting in Veenavanka on Wednesday, Mr. Harish Rao launched a broadside at former minister Eatala Rajender who had switched loyalties to the BJP. He exhorted people to question Mr. Rajender how he proposed to develop the constituency while being in opposition when he, being a minister in the Cabinet, could not usher in development. “Mr. Rajender could not ensure construction of single house in the constituency while being a minister in the Cabinet. The ruling party was extending a string of schemes like Rythu Bima, Rythu Bandhu, Aasara, Kalyana Lakshmi, KCR Kit and Dalit Bandhu. “What will Mr. Rajender offer to people? Mr. Rajender is speaking about self-respect while he himself is in a self-betrayal mode?” Mr. Harish Rao said. Mr. Rajender who laid had tall claims on following Leftist ideals joined a right-wing party. The contest in Huzurabad was primarily between the TRS and the BJP as the Congress was nowhere in picture there.
