Manda Krishna Madiga fires salvo at Jagan
Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) founder-president Manda Krishna Madiga fired a salvo at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy over the latter’s alleged controversial remarks on the long pending demand for categorisation of SCs (Scheduled Castes).
Hyderabad: Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) founder-president Manda Krishna Madiga fired a salvo at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy over the latter's alleged controversial remarks on the long pending demand for categorisation of SCs (Scheduled Castes).
Speaking to newsmen here, he questioned Jagan for taking U-turn on the SC categorisation. It was Jagan in the capacity of YSR Congress party president who wrote a letter to the President in 2010 and requested to accept the demand raised by the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi.
Jagan's father and former Chief Minister of erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh Y S Rajashekhara Reddy extended all out support to the samithi, he observed.
The MRPS leader also alleged that Jagan is not permitting the MRPS to conduct padayatra in AP on SC categorisation demand. Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu assured the MRPS of fulfilling the demand but no steps were taken towards this end.
Union Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy also responded positively during the recent meeting with the Minister. Krishna madiga ruled out his joining BJP in the future.
As part of seeking central support for SC categorisation, he is meeting BJP leaders, he clarified.
