Kapu leader Mudragada to go autonomous

Amaravati, Aug 02: Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham, who had been strongly attacking the Telugu Desam Party and chief minister, N Chandrababu Naidu, all these days, is now faced with yet another competitor YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

All these days, Mudragada had been attacking Naidu for not being honest in appending reservations for Kapus and trying to divide the Kapu community with douse.

The TDP leaders were asserting him of joining hands with Jagan in attacking Naidu. However, after Jagan made that controversial statement at his Jaggampet public meeting saying he would not like to commit on Kapu quota as it was in the court of the Centre, Mudragada made a harsh attack on the YSRC chief too.

Though Jagan hunted to put the records straight on his comments, Mudragada realised that Kapus might not believe the YSRC chief any longer.

At the same time, he cannot believe Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan also, as the latter had never come out with any open statement in favour of Kapu quota. So, the best way for Mudragada is to be neutral in the next elections.

According to the latest information available from close sources that the Kapu Nadu lead by Mudragada will put up an independent fight in East and West Godavari districts as a substitute to YSRCP, TDP and Jana Sena, entirely on the deal of Kapu quota.

By doing so, Mudragada wants to win as many seats as possible to arrive as a force in the next elections and become a kingmaker in the state.

If it is not viable, he would at least crack a dominant hunk of Kapu votes, so as to play harm pastime with the chances of major political players.
