Hyderabad: BJP leader Eatala Rajendar denied Eatala Rajendar BJP exit rumours and said he had no plans to leave the party, calling the reports baseless.
He addressed a media conference and said such speculation had circulated for the past few days. Moreover, he pointed to posters in Karimnagar that suggested he would switch parties. He added that even some party members had shared these posters.
Rajendar said he does not change parties easily. He remarked that shifting allegiance is not like changing clothes. He also ruled out any return to the party led by K. Chandrashekar Rao.
He recalled his exit from the BRS five years ago. At that time, he said he faced restrictions and could not speak freely. As a result, he joined the BJP under those circumstances.

Rajendar said he alone understood the difficulties he faced during that period. He alleged that KCR had put him under sustained pressure. However, he maintained that he never sought positions for personal benefit.
At the same time, he criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. He claimed public dissatisfaction with the government was increasing. In addition, he alleged that the administration was restricting media voices.
He said the government was following policies similar to the previous regime on fee reimbursement. Therefore, he warned that the Chief Minister could face similar consequences as KCR.
Rajendar also noted that the BJP has multiple MPs from the GHMC region. He said the party would continue to raise public issues actively. He reiterated that there was no truth in the Eatala Rajendar BJP exit rumours.
