Ex-Minister and noted Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham got a major sigh of relief from the old cases that trace back to five years back. As a piece of good news for him, the old cases have been withdrawn and official orders stating the same were also issued.
The Andhra Pradesh government had decided to withdraw the cases that were filed against him in connection with the infamous Tuni railway station case. Canceling all the cases slapped against him, the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government issued orders. All the cases filed on various leaders have been withdrawn.
Mudragada Padmanabham, who is a happy man now, took the opportunity to thank the government and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. In a letter, he had thanked the Chief Minister for giving him a big relief.
While thanking the Andhra Pradesh government, Mudragada gave a reason behind not meeting Jagan or previous Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. Mudragada said that his meeting with the Chief Minister might make people speculate that he is meeting them for getting posts and earning money and that’s why he did not meet them.
The Tuni Railway Station issue was reported in 2016. The protest called by Mudragada to fight for the demand to include Kapus in the Other Backward Class (OBC) category turned violent when people who took part in the protest reportedly attacked the Railway Station and the Ratnachal Express was damaged in the attack.
