Tensions within the Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have surfaced prominently as senior leaders and newcomers clash over the selection of the state party chief. The rift came to light when Malkajgiri MP Etala Rajendra, a frontrunner for the position, voiced concerns about discord between veteran and fresh party members.
Speaking at a public event in the city, Etala Rajendra emphasized the necessity of entrusting significant responsibilities to experienced leaders while acknowledging the importance of injecting new blood into the party for its growth and advancement. He stressed that a harmonious collaboration between old and new leaders is crucial for the party’s development.
However, his remarks quickly met with opposition from BJP MLA Raja Singh of Gusha Mahal, who released a video rebutting Etala Rajendra’s stance. The video, now circulating widely on social media and Telugu television channels, portrays Raja Singh advocating for the appointment of a state president who embodies longstanding commitment to the party’s ideology, Hinduism, and Hindutva principles.

Raja Singh underscored the need for the new Telangana BJP chief to display aggression, uphold reverence for the nation and religion, and possess the ability to unify all party factions. He urged the party leadership to prioritize these criteria in the selection process before appointing the next state president.
The conflicting viewpoints between Etala Rajendra and Raja Singh highlight the internal complexities within the Telangana BJP as it navigates the crucial decision of leadership succession. The outcome of this internal debate is expected to significantly influence the party’s trajectory in the state, particularly in the run-up to upcoming political challenges.
As the Telangana BJP grapples with these internal dynamics, political observers await further developments to see how the party leadership resolves this divergence of opinions and charts a course forward amidst its broader political aspirations.
