Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabam deplored the termination of IYR Krishna Rao from the chairmanship of Brahmin corporation and held that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu committed a grave mistake. He asked, the Brahmins to show their mettle in 2019 elections by dethroning TDP.

The former minister is all set to launch ‘Chalo Amaravati’ Padayatra from July 26 demanding Kapu Reservation. However, Home Minister Nimakayala Chinnarajappa stated that the government would not give permission to this fresh agitation as it would create law and order problems in the State.

Mudragada said that despite the obstacles they would go ahead with the indefinite march. Speaking on the occasion of releasing the route map for the Padayatra, he questioned the government’s responsibility in fulfilling the promises made during elections and in its manifesto.

In his letter to the CM, the former minister said that they are not asking quota in BC, but are seeking reservation under special category for Kapus. Criticising Chandrababu’s words, he said that there is no point in iterating that Kapu reservation will be given without doing injustice to BC. He alleged that the TDP chief is accustomed in creating rift among communities and said that the government has put the Kapu reservation issue in “cold storage”

Home Minister asked the Kapu youth to avoid falling prey to the designs of self-styled caste leaders. This is third such agitation by Mudragada even though Chandrababu was able to curtail such activisms previously. It is yet to be seen how the TDP supremo will respond to this revolt.
