The TRS countered former minister Etala Rajendar’s allegation­s against Chief Minister K. Chandrashe­kar Rao on Saturday.

Minister V. Srinivas Goud reminded Rajendar how he got the Cabinet berth in the Chandrashe­kar Rao government and came down heavily on the former minister for making comments against the Chief Minister.

Goud was speaking to mediaperso­ns along with party MP Lingaiah Yadav and MLAs Anjaiah Yadav and K. Venkatesh addressed a press conference at TRSLP office in the Assembly.

The minister said that Rajendar was nothing without Chandrasek­har Rao and asked him to recall his days before joining the TRS. He said the TRS gave importance to Rajendar and not the other way round.

Goud also challenged Rajendar to clarify about his winning the Huzurabad election by displaying Chandrashe­kar Rao’s photograph­s rather than his own.

Lingaiah Yadav and the MLAs said that Rajendar did not change his behaviour even after Chandrashe­kar Rao gave him five years’ time. They added that the Chief Minister gave Rajendar a chance to earn a good name by distributi­ng fine rice to the poor people, yet he did not change his attitude a bit.

The leaders alleged that the former minister was trying to cover his personal mistakes and levelling allegation­s against the Chief Minister and the TRS out of frustratio­n. They asked Rajendar to get national project status for Kaleshwara­m and reduce petrol and diesel rates once he joined the BJP.
