Mudragada Padmanabham who has been fighting for Kapu reservations for last several years packed a punch to Jagan today.

It is known news that Jagan took U turn on Kapu reservations and announced yesterday that Kapu reservations is in the purview of union government but not state government and so he can’t assure on Kapu reservations. Jagan added, even though he will not be able fight for Kapu reservations or promise on Kapu reservations, he will be doubling the amount given to Kapu Corporation from 5000 crores to 10000 crores. Obviously his statement irked Kapu leaders.

Mudragada questioned Jagan, why he supported Kapu reservations after Tuni incident and why he announced his support on this issue in assembly. Doesn’t he know that it is in the purview of Central Government then, Mudragada questioned. He also delivered a punch on Jagan by questioning- several issues like special category status, railway zone are also in the purview of Central Government and why Jagan is fighting on those issues, if he can’t fight for Kapu reservations citing the reason that it is in the purview of Central Government.

As per analysts, this is one more self goal from Jagan and Kapu leaders themselves are finding it difficult defending his stand on Kapu reservations.
