In a sudden turn of events, MRPS President, Manda Krishna Madiga met Leader of Opposition, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy today in his Chamber in AP Assembly. Manda Krishna is a big supporter of TDP for a long time after the party supported SC Classification, a long time demand of Madigas. It was with MRPS protection, Chandrababu Naidu undertook his Padayatra in Telangana with out any issues.
However admitting of Mala Mahanadu President, Jupudi Prabhakar in to TDP did anger Manda Krishna. Jupudi represents Mala community who opposed SC classification. Few days ago, Manda Krishna fired on Chandrababu for admitting Jupudi in to the party. While Chandrababu got in the stauch supporter of YSR and YSR Congress’ Official representative, Jagan seem to be trying for the support of Manda Krishna Madiga to counter TDP.
Traditionally Mala community supported Congress and YSR Congress after late YSR’s death and their rival dalits, Madigas are with TDP for a long time. We will have to see if this changes bring any new political developments in the two dalit communities.
