‘The irresponsible behaviour of YSRCP and TDP leaders is tarnishing State’s image’
Special invitee to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) Chinta Mohan on Friday said that search was on to identify a credible leader from the Kapu community, who would be projected as the Chief Ministerial candidate in the State in the next general election.
“I will convince the party high command to encourage a Kapu leader to be the Chief Ministerrial candidate. Only two communities have been in the power in the State. It is time the Kapus got a chance. Being a special invitee to the CWC, I have been in touch with many Kapu leaders in the State as part of the search,” Mr. Chinta Mohan told the media here.
Referring to the attack on the TDP offices, Mr. Chinta Mihan said the ‘irresponsible behaviour’ of the YSRCP and the TDP leaders was tarnishing the image of State.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
