The leaders and cadre of BJP in Telangana were surprised and shocked to see Telangana BJP senior leader and MLA Etala Rajender tweeting in Hindi for the first time.
Etala typically tweets in Telugu and rarely in English. At most, his Twitter handle features retweets of English posts by national BJP leaders such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and BJP National President JP Nadda.
However, Etala suddenly tweeted in Hindi, creating a buzz in both BJP and political circles in Telangana. The motive behind his Hindi tweets and the message he intended to convey to his followers and the public remained a topic of discussion.
Etala's Hindi tweet stated, "BJP workers and leaders in Telangana have been waiting for 40 years, starting from the Sarpanch post to MP, facing numerous difficulties and losses. They have endured insults and carried the saffron flag of BJP on their shoulders without holding any official position for years. But now, the time has come to receive the blessings of the people. I will work as a soldier for BJP's victory under the leadership of Modi, making your dream of bringing BJP to power in Telangana a reality. I will always stand by BJP workers and leaders."
Within BJP circles, it is speculated that Etala's Hindi tweet and its tone and content confirm that he is soon to receive a "key post" in Telangana BJP, and he will lead the party to victory in the upcoming Telangana Assembly polls.
The tweet implies that Etala is assuring BJP leaders and workers in Telangana of his commitment to bringing the party to power in the state. This indirectly suggests that he will lead BJP from the forefront in Telangana, potentially overshadowing BJP State President Bandi Sanjay.
Sources within BJP circles suggest that Etala may have received a clear assurance from the party's national leadership regarding his future "key post" in Telangana, where he will lead the party in the upcoming Assembly polls.
Given the speculations surrounding Bandi Sanjay's potential shift to Modi's cabinet as a Union Minister, Etala's Hindi tweet gains significance. It is seen as his attempt to establish a connection with Prime Minister Modi, Amit Shah, and Nadda through his Hindi tweets.
Tagging his Hindi tweet to Modi, Amit Shah, and Nadda indicates his intention to forge closer ties with the top three BJP leaders at the national level.
