Rumour mills in Telugu politics are rife with news that popular Backward Communities leader in Telangana Ex TDP MLA, R. Krishnaiah who has been a vocal proponent against the inclusion of Kapus in BCs and may campaign for YSR Congress party in the upcoming state elections in Andhra Pradesh.
According to party sources, YSR Congress MP Vijay Sai Reddy had approached Krishnaiah to campaign for the party in Andhra Pradesh. Krishnaiah got convinced and accepted the YSRCP MP’s offer. Though a politician from Telangana, YSRCP cadre believes that Krishnaiah could turn out to be a crucial person in protesting against the demand for Kapus to be included in BCs as suggested by the Telugu Desam Party. He believes that inclusion of Kapus under BCs will eat into BC quota and do injustice to the BC community.
Krishnaiah who had contested from Congress in the Telangana elections, has been making pro-KCR statements ever since TRS’ victory in the state. This apparently has become a rallying point for TRS’ friendly ally YSR Congress to approach the BC leader. Looks like the YSRCP is making every effort to ensure that TDP is shown in bad light, whatsoever. With Telangana leaders heading to Andhra Pradesh for poll campaign, the battle in AP will again result into a battle between two states, unfortunately!
