Etela Rajender, a MLA representing the Bhartiya Janata Party, has challenged Chief Minister K Chandra Sekhar Rao to immediately seek the people's mandate to demonstrate his political might. The Huzurabad MLA strongly criticised the TRS-led government in a press conference on Wednesday for allegedly stopping him from speaking during the Assembly session. He declared that the BJP will come into power in the state whenever the election is held. The former Minister said, "I won't get sound sleep until I see KCR defeated." Furthering his criticism of CM KCR, the BJP MLA claimed that his party's MPs, MLAs, and other cadre members only support him because of the opportunity, and he expressed confidence in their ability to leave the party when the time is right.
