Did KCR Use Paritala Marriage to Attract Kammas?

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao’s Anantapur Visit hogged the headlines on Sunday. KCR seems to be targeting the Kamma Caste people in Hyderabad and districts like Khammam with the way he carried out himself at Paritala Sriram’s marriage.

KCR got a warm reception from the people as well. Visiting Paritala Ghat after the marriage was also a masterstroke in that direction. He was involved in a chitchat with TDP Senior Leader, Payyavula Keshav who is also a Kamma.

Probably, KCR is sending a message that he has no issues whatsoever with Kamma people and is embracing them. KCR who was supposed to spend only 15 minutes at the marriage according to the schedule, was there for about one and half hours.

Sriram’s father, Paritala Ravindra and KCR are colleagues in TDP government back then. Paritala Ravi used to be a Minister while KCR is a TDP MLA back then and so they have a good relation. KCR was also the in charge of Anantapur district TDP back then.
