Hyderabad, September 20: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Malkajgiri in Telangana, Eatala Rajender, dismissed the speculations of switching parties and condemned media reports spreading the rumour. Sharing an X post on Friday, Rajender said that he is not a person who switches parties, and it is not “as easy as changing clothes”. He wrote, “Appeal to media, newspapers, and YouTube channels. I strongly condemn the news circulating in some media, newspapers, and YouTube channels claiming that I am switching parties. Washing with mud… throwing a burning shirt on oneself is not good.” “I am not a person who changes words or switches parties. Switching parties is not as easy as changing clothes. Switching parties should be a major decision in life… there should be a significant reason,” the BJP MP added. He added that he joined the BJP as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (then Telangana Rashtra Samithi) expelled him back in 2021. Rajender wrote, “I came only because they sent me out from TRS, too; otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to that extent. The party that took me in is the BJP.” ‘BRS Not B-Team of Congress or BJP’: KT Rama Rao Hits Out at Jairam Ramesh After Abstaining From Voting in Vice-Presidential Election. Further, he asked the media not to harm his reputation with such rumours. “I strongly condemn the news reports and the propaganda claiming that I am switching parties. Repeatedly testing patience is not good. Do not assassinate character. Now I leave it to your wisdom,” the X post read. In June 2021, Eatala Rajender joined the BJP in the presence of Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and G Kishan Reddy at the party headquarters in Delhi.
