HYDERABAD: Rivalry between the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seem to be heating up in the state after the attack on Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Aravind’s convoy on Sunday in Warangal.
The parties that have been at loggerheads since the BJP won four Lok Sabha seats in the 2019 elections have had various clashes in Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Hyderabad. Now, the attack on saffron party’s Aravind has led to protests by the TRS and BJP workers in Warangal and Nizamabad.

Earlier, Karimnagar MP and BJP state president Bandi Sanjay was also allegedly manhandled by police during the RTC strike.

TRS, which has extended support to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at many instances in the parliament, is now facing attack from the saffron front for the state’s handling of Covid-19. BJP has tried to corner the government on the issue of secretariat and farmers’ plights too.
Arvind is on the forefront in the war against TRS, using every opportunity in Nizamabad where KCR’s daughter Kavitha had contested as an MP.
Some TRS leaders say they are facing criticism from BJP more than the Congress party, which has more MLAs in the state assembly than the BJP.
The BJP is reportedly angry with the ruling party for poaching its leaders, especially elected representatives in various mandals, including corporators of Nizamabad, in view of council elections in which former MP Kavitha is contesting. The MLC elections are expected to be held in a month.
