Chandrababu should at least open his eyes

Kakinada: “Even 22 months after the forming the government, Chandrababu Naidu has not been able resolve the issue of reservation for the Kapu community” said YRSCP president and opposition leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Y.S. Jagan on Tuesday consoled the family of Venkata Ramanamurthy, who on Monday committed suicide in the Kakinada Collectorate for the sake of inclusion of the Kapus in the BC list. Addressing the media after that, Y.S Jagan said that Ramanamurthy had given up his life so that Chandrababu would open his eyes to the issue; and demanded that at least now the CM should not linger on the issue anymore and include the Kapus in the BC list.

Y.S Jagan also stated that Chandrababu should examine how Tamil Nadu is able to allocate 69% for reservations. He alleged that Chandrababu is only pretending to not know about this and if he really did not know then he should travel to Tamil Nadu and learn how they are able to provide reservations.

Y.S. Jagan stated that it was not right to set up a commission without providing proper guidelines and pointed out that Kaka Kalelkar, in 1953, had recognized the Kapus as BC. “Chandrababu should at least open his eyes now after Ramanamurthy’s suicide and implement what was promised to the Kapus in the elections”, he said.

He called for the government to come to the aid of Ramanamurthy’s family and also reiterated his call for everyone to come together and fight and achieve their goal.
