The Jubilee Hills MLA recently attacked a party member over a disagreement about flexis. However, this is not an isolated incident within the BRS party, as there are similar conflicts happening in other constituencies. In some areas, leaders are getting into disputes with MLAs or incharges because their pictures are not being featured on flexis, which is causing divisions within the party.
The Jubilee Hills MLA made headlines when his followers allegedly attacked another party member because a Bonalu flexi featured another leader’s photo and a smaller photo of the MLA. This angered the city president of the ruling party. But this kind of tension is not uncommon, as it is happening in other constituencies as well. For example, in Amberpet, BRS leader Ekkala Kanna’s flexis feature photos of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Ministers KT Rama Rao and Talasani Srinivas Yadav, but not the sitting MLA Kaleru Venkatesh. Similar conflicts exist in Goshamahal, where party leader Gaddam Srinivas Yadav’s Bonalu flexis include pictures of all other leaders except for previous candidate Prem Singh Rathod.
The LB Nagar constituency is also experiencing an open conflict between MLA D Sudheer Reddy and senior leader Rammohan Goud, as evident through flexi displays. This flexi war is not limited to the city, as districts are also witnessing fights between party leaders. In Patancheru, there is an open feud between MLA G Mahipal Reddy and senior leader Neelam Madhu Mudiraj, with posters and banners being removed, which adds to the tension.
To make matters worse, some leaders are projecting themselves as candidates for the next elections, which escalates the situation even further. Party leaders are urging the high command to intervene and prevent these divisions from negatively impacting their chances in the upcoming elections.
