Etela Rajender goes, KCR becomes Health Minister

It’s known that Eatala Rajender is facing allegations of land grabbing. The matter came to the fore on Friday evneing. In a sudden turn of events, the Chief Minister ordered a Revenue and Vigilance probe into the alleged grabbing of assigned lands in Masaipet mandal in Medak district.

On Saturday, in yet another shocking turn of events, Rajender was stripped off his Health Ministry. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao assumed the Medical, Health and Family Welfare portfolio.

An order to this effect was given by the State Governor upon the CM’s recommendation. This comes at a time when the State is facing an oxygen and ICU crisis. This was something Rajender himself said in a recent interview. 

Commenting on the development, journalist Revathi wrote, “With CM being at the helm hope the state has better health infrastructure.” The hope expressed by many lies in tatters, though. The Health Ministry needs a full-time Minister. For KCR, it’s an additional responsibility sort of thing. 

Meanwhile, political commentators will be busy slicing through the unforeseen political developments.
