Kapu quota: Jagan full stops the controversy

Amaravati, Aug 01: After making his party leaders clarify the party's stand on the Kapu reservations controversy for 3 days, YSRCP President Y S Jaganmohan Reddy finally sought to put the records straight at Pithapuram public meeting, thereby overturning the damage his earlier statement at Jaggampeta had done.

Jagan restated that he had never opposed the quota for Kapu community, but did not want to make false demands that he would defend it.



"I only said since the Centre was seized of the matter, it could be dealt with the Centre in the wake of the Supreme Court judgment. I made it clear in the past that out party is for the reservations to Kapus without touching the existing quota and there is no question of going back on my view," he said.

The YSRCP heir accused the TDP and a section of media of deceiving his statement and taking his comment out of context.

Political Analysts say enough damage had already been done to YSRCP due to Jagan's statement at Jaggampeta and his clarification at Pithapuram would only cease further damage.

In a different circumstance, TDP leaders, including Naidu, have already started an extensive campaign against Jagan extruding him as anti-Kapu. Together, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan is also touring West Godavari and it will further affect Jagan's forecast.

"His promise of doubling the financial assistance to Kapus has also not alleviated the community. The only way Jagan can undo the damage is to hold a series of talks with the Kapu community leaders like Mudragada in the next few days and give them a strong belief that he would take up their cause in the coming days," a party source said.
