Telangana BJP Faces Internal Strife as Divisions Emerge
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Instead of cashing in on the positive wave in its favour during the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP is a divided house now as it is ridden with several internal disputes. The gap stood exposed when a BJP team, led by Malkajgiri MP Etala Rajendar, party general secretary Dr Kasam Venkateshwarlu and secretary Prakash Reddy submitted a memorandum to 16th Finance Commission at Praja Bhavan recently. Members of its Legislature Party were neither informed nor asked to join them even though the BJP boasts of eight MLAs. Among other such notable indications come from the fact that when the party’s kisan cell launched a helpline at the state party office, the Legislature Party was not included in the exercise. Sources added that the party leadership had expressed its displeasure when its Legislature Party leader held press meetings in the State Assembly.
