Mudragada Padmanabham has been the most respected leader by the Kapu Community before two weeks but all of a sudden, the scene has reversed as he quits the Kapu agitation and the protests for BC reservation abruptly. It was right after Pawan Kalyan questioning Jagan’s stand on Kapu reservation at the time of the implementation of the ‘Kapu Nestam’ scheme.
Many people opine that like YSRCP did let their Kapu leaders on Pawan Kalyan, it seems they have also pressurized Mudragada to quit from the protest. The way Mudragada quit the agitations and the excuses he made are indeed confusing and suspicious.
Mudragada said that this whole thing was started under CBN’s reign as he failed to keep his promise. Mudragada was very aggressive while questioning CBN when compared to Jagan and he just asked Jagan to pressurize the center in the Kapu issue which is being termed as utterly ‘nonsensical’. Mudragada never mentioned the name of the center when TDP was ruling the state.
Jagan said that the supreme court’s verdict of the ‘not more than 50%’ reservations is stopping him from categorizing Kapu’s under the BC category. Immediately, Pawan said that there is a possibility to follow the BJP government in Maharashtra which made a G.O in 2018 by giving Maratha’s 12% reservation who faced the same problems the Kapu are facing.
Though Pawan mentioned that these two cases are identical, much to Kapu’s embarrassment, he didn’t get any support from Mudragada Padmanabham. Now, with Mudragada quitting the agitation citing the non-cooperative attitude of the fellow Kapu leaders has been hugely criticized as the statement really bring a partition in the Kapu Community and many people say that they know who is behind this entire grand act.
