TDP Politicising Kapu Reservation: YSRCP

Visakhapatnam: YSR Congress party (YSRCP) Vizag City President Malla Vijaya Prasad lashed out at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu over the state government's handling of basic issues.

Speaking to media here today, Vijaya Prasad said that the CM was criticising the opposition only to cover his government's shortcomings and the Telugu Desam Party's (TDP) failure in delivering the 2014 election promises.

The YSRCP leader said that the TDP leaders are also criticising Leader of Opposition in Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly and YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's recent remarks on the implementation of Kapu reservation in East Godavari district. The YSRCP leader questioned the state government on the allocation of funds for Kapu reservation.

"Only Rs 1,300 crores have been allocated till now, as against Rs 5,000 crores for the Kapu community," he said. The TDP should stop politicising sensitive issues and also stop provoke people and create a rift between different sections of the society, he added.
