Speaking further, Reddy said, "BJP is the only alternative party against TRS, Etela Rajender will go to assembly with a comfortable margin."
"People of Telangana are confident about BJP and they believe this is the only effective and dynamic party that can counter the misrule of the TRS government," said Reddy.

Huzurabad seat fell vacant after former health minister Eatala Rajender resigned from ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and joined the BJP.
On June 12, Rajender had submitted his resignation as Huzurabad MLA after he was sacked from the state Council of Ministers following allegations of land encroachments.
