He also blamed the government for neglecting the tenant farmers in the state. He said that the government had completely ignored and neglected the tenant farmers though there is “Rythu” in the YSR Congress Party’s name.

The Jana Sena leader said that the YSR Congress had declared Kammas as their rivals and regretted that other castes remained silent. He felt that other castes should question the YSR Congress leadership for caste-based politics.

He also said that the YCP leadership had also kept the Vysya and Kshatriya castes in the state. He alleged that the YCP leadership was isolating castes which were not supporting Jagan Mohan Reddy. He feared that the YCP would soon isolate Kapus for its political mileage.
