TRS leaders hit out at Eatala TRS Ministers and leaders hit back at Eatala Rajender, saying the self-respect he was arguing was more about self-protection after the government launched investigations into his alleged illegal land dealings. At a press conference here, TRS MLC Rajeshwar Reddy condemned the allegations against Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao that Ministers were being ill-treated. He said if Mr. Rajender was humiliated why did he wait for so long to make these observations and not leave the party there and then. The talk of self-respect was for self-protection and property protection, he charged. He said Eatala was given a lot of priority over others by the Chief Minister and that was why he enjoyed all the political positions from being a TRSLP leader and as a Minister. It was unfair on his part to level such allegations against the Chief Minister despite knowing that none would believe them.
