HYDERABAD: Former health minister Eatala Rajender is in the process of taking legal opinion in his resignation to the MLA post of Huzurabad.
BJP state president Bandi Sanjay on Wednesday confirmed the development, saying that the former health minister will join the BJP in a week, after taking legal opinion.
“Eatala is joining us unconditionally.
BJP will not give any assurance to anyone,” Bandi Sanjay said.
Eatala reportedly decided to resign before the speaker takes action against him.
“Eatala anticipated that TRS will taken action against him, but instead TRS is trying to distance the cadre from Eatala camp,” a source told TOI.
Meanwhile, several developments took place in BJP over Eatala’s possible joining.
Senior leader DK Arun met E Pedireddy, who was protesting Eatala joining the party.
Peddireddy expressed unhappiness over the party’s decision, as he was anticipating Huzurabad seat in case of a by-election.
The former TDP leader was touted to be joining TRS, but sources in TRS denied any such moves, for now.
Gosha Mahal MLA Raja Singh came down heavily on partymen who were against Eatala joining the BJP.
Meanwhile, Congress MLA T Jayaprakash Reddy said that Eatala is not joining his party since it does not have the Union home ministry under its ambit.
