Siddipet battle becomes Harish Rao vs Raghunandan Rao

BJP’s MLA Raghunandan Rao is facing the biggest test of his political life these days. This test is bigger and more crucial than winning Dubbak. He is now trying to expand the BJP in Siddipet, which is the borough of TRS stalwart Harish Rao. He is now up against Harish Rao, who has a vice-like grip on Siddipet town and the municipality.

Raghunandan Rao has been entrusted responsibility of Siddipet municipality, which is going to polls on April 30. He has been working on Siddipet for over a few months and has been meeting the party workers on a regular basis. He has strategized and identified wards where the BJP stands a chance. He is specially focusing on those wards. He has also played a key role in choosing the candidates for various wards. A creditable performance in Siddipet will help him in his career. His political career graph too is dependent on Siddipet. What more, he has a wily and hugely popular rival in Harish Rao, who has his finger on the pulse of Siddipet.

Political observers say that more than TRS vs BJP, it is a personal fight between Harish Rao and Raghunandan Rao. Both are rivals from the TRS days. In fact, one of the main reasons why Raghunandhan Rao left the TRS is his rivalry with Raghunandan Rao. Hence, he is leaving no stone unturned to get back at Harish Rao .
