Overview
- Cyberabad and KPHB police arrested six people, including former Secunderabad Cantonment Board vice‑president G Ramakrishna, in connection with unauthorized banners and posters targeting BJP MP Etala Rajender that were found in KPHB, Malkajgiri and Secunderabad.
- The Telangana BJP suspended Ramakrishna from primary membership and directed him to submit a written explanation to the state party within a week as a disciplinary measure for violating party rules.
- The flexis accused Etala Rajender of blocking the BJP’s growth in Telangana and described him as a ‘curse to the BJP,’ language that police and party sources called deliberately defamatory.
- After the arrests, photographs of Ramakrishna with Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar circulated on social media and former BJP NEC member Shekhar Rao Perala alleged on Facebook that Ramakrishna had misused party funds, sharpening internal tensions and calls for inquiry.
- The episode has moved from anonymous public displays to parallel legal and internal probes, and it could prompt further disciplinary steps or a formal inquiry into factional networks and alleged fund misuse within the state BJP.
