JSP-TDP alliance in Andhra Pradesh has Prime Minister Modi’s blessings, says Pawan Kalyan. It is for the development of Andhra Pradesh that the two parties have come together, says Pawan Kalyan. He asks Kapu community elders not to fall in Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s trap. He says Kapu leaders should question where Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s promise of reservation for the community has gone, instead of making malicious comments against him.
Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan has said that the JSP-TDP alliance has the “blessings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
“The alliance has long-term objectives, which may be misunderstood for the time being,” Mr. Pawan Kalyan said in a press release on Thursday night.
Mr. Pawan Kalyan said it was for the development of Andhra Pradesh that the two parties came together, and his decisions and comments were not devoid of strong reason.
He expressed confidence that the reality would eventually dawn on the Kapu community elders, who were abusing him on caste lines at the behest of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).
Mr. Pawan Kalyan said the Kapu leaders should question where Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s promise of reservation for the community had gone, instead of making malicious comments against him.
In fact, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had openly expressed his inability to give Kapu reservation at a public meeting at Jaggampeta in East Godavari district, which was considered the bastion of Kapus.
The JSP chief further said that the Kapu community should grill Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy for not giving funds to the Kapu Corporation that was formed with much hype.
