Former minister and Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham on Thursday alleged that Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan was scaring the people with his bouncers. He said that his bouncers were not allowing people to reach their leader.He sought to advice Pawan Kalyan to withdraw his bouncers and mingle with the people. He wanted the Jana Sena chief to be a normal leader while being with the people. He said that those who act above people in politics are not successful.
Referring to Chandrababu Naidu, the Kapu leader said that the TDP chief had tried to exploit the Kapus all through his rule for 14 years as chief minister. He said that Chandrababu Naidu had tried to suppress the Kapus and their movement. He alleged that Naidu had used the police force against the Kapu movement.However, on the other hand, chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had given greatest respect to the Kapu community. He also said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had given much recognition to the Kapus in politics. Several nominated posts were also given to the Kapus, he said.
He also accused the Jana Sena chief of mortgaging the self-respect of the Kapus at the feet of Chandrababu Naidu. He wondered why Pawan Kalyan had come to politics if he is there to serve the political interests of Chandrababu Naidu.He alleged that both Pawan Kalyan and Chandrababu Naidu have aligned with the BJP to suppress Kapus. He also said that their alliance would not win the hearts of the people. The elections would see Jagan Mohan Reddy winning for the second term.
