Naming Kapu buildings after Babu?!

  • Change of tone after elections
  • What has happened to promises made to Kapus?
  • YSRCP official spokesman Ambati Rambabu
Hyderabad: YSRCP’s official spokesman Ambati Rambabu proclaimed that naming Kapu building after Chandrababu is a huge insult to the whole community. While there are many great leaders born in that community, how could Babu name it after himself, he questioned. He complained that TDP was announcing to be performing developmental activities in the state only to bluff people. He reminded the promises made to the community prior to elections including joining it in BC category and sanctioning Rs.5000 crore for its welfare. He mentioned that these promises had encouraged the people of the community to vote for Babu but now he had totally forgotten about them. He spoke in a media conference at the party’s central office in Hyderabad.
Government schemes or Babu’s schemes?
Ambati ridiculed naming the schemes even before they were begun giving examples of Chandranna swayam upadhi pathakam, Chandranna videsi vidya deevena, Chandranna vidyonnati, Chandranna kapu bhavanalu, Chandranna upakara vethanalu, Chandranna bhusara pareekshalu, Chandranna sankranthi kanuka, Chandranna beema and Chandranna haamee. He condemned Chandrababu’s obsession with naming the schemes after himself but not putting any of them to practice. He mentioned that none of the former chief ministers including Dr.YS Rajasekhar Reddy wanted to name their schemes after themselves. He reminded that Dr.YSR had introduced a number of schemes like Arogya Shree, Indiramma illu, 108 and pension schemes but had never named a scheme after himself.
Why Babu when there are many more great persons?
With so many famous people from Kapu community like Kodi Rammurthy Naidu, a prominent wrestler, Kannaganti Hanumanthu, a famous freedom fighter, SV Rangarao, a self-made prominent film actor, CK Nayudu, the first captain of Indian cricket team, great actress Savitri and Vangaveeti Mohana Rangarao being there, naming Kapu buildings after Chandrababu would be an insult to the whole community, exclaimed Ambati.
He revealed that Chandrababu had spent nothing for the community in 2014-15. Out of the promised Rs.96 crore in 2015-16, only Rs.70 crore had been spent. There had been no update about the promises made to the community, he stated. He mentioned that manjunatha commission had been appointed on January 18, 2016 on the issue of joining Kapu community in the BC category based on the letter written by Mudaragada Padmanabham on the 21st of August but there had been no sign of any work done by the committee yet. He blamed Babu for not forming Kapu corporations and not adding Kapus to BC category. He credited the formation of the committee to Mudragada Padmanabham and added that Chandrababu otherwise had no commitment towards the community or the promises made to it. Ambati remarked that not even Rs.100 crore had been spent out of the promised Rs.5000 crore. He demanded a white paper from Babu about the expenditure on the community. He proclaimed that Kapus had been demanding for the promises made to them and not expecting alms.
Don’t practice selfish politics
Ambati questioned how the funds donated by Kapu community could be given away as Government funds. He suggested Babu to realise that Kapus themselves had built the Kapu function hall in Srisailam. He asked Babu not to practice selfish politics insulting the community. He revealed that Babu had promised Rs.1 lakh loans and Rs.1 lakh subsidy to Kapus prior to elections but now brought the amount down to Rs.50,000, from which Rs.25,000 was subsidy and Rs.25,000 had to be paid to banks.
Resign before you speak, Bhuma
Ambati demanded income limit of BCs to be raised to Rs.2.5 lakh. He explained that they were facing hard time going around banks for Rs. 50,000. He dared Bhuma Nagireddy to resign. He complained that TDP leaders were focusing on criticising YS Jagan for whatever he did. He slammed them for passing unfair comments against YS Jagan for staging hunger strike for the benefit of the state.
