3-yr rule suppressed Kapus in all aspects: MLA
TDP gave 5% quota for Kapus but Jagan cancelled it
AMARAVATI: TDP Repalle MLA Anagani Satya Prasad on Sunday expressed concern over the Jagan Reddy Government’s ‘endless insults and betrayals’ to the Kapu community in the State.
Satya Prasad slammed the CM for stopping even ‘Kapu Nestham’ now after cancelling Videsi Vidya and fee reimbursement in the past.
In a press release here, the TDP MLA said real justice was done to Kapus only during the previous Chandrababu rule. Jagan Reddy has been carrying out an ‘anti-Kapu’ regime in the past three years by cancelling each and every benefit to them.
Satya Prasad said that the Kapu community was suppressed economically, politically and socially. They were deprived of many benefits under the Government programmes. Jagan Reddy has reduced Videsi Vidya scholarships from Rs. 10 lakh to just Rs. 5 lakh for Kapu students.
The TDP MLA pointed out that the Chandrababu regime spent Rs. 1,500 Cr for Kapu students’ Videsi Vidya. Boarding facilities were provided to Kapu students preparing for competitive examinations in AP Bhavan in Delhi. The YCP rule has cancelled even this.
Satya Prasad said injustice was done by turning Kapu Corporation into an ornamental body without any funds to create self-employment opportunities. Benefits given through Amma Vodi and pensions were being shown as exclusively given to Kapus.
The TDP MLA slammed the YCP rule for claiming credit for even the funds released under the Central programmes. YSR name was prefixed to old programmes only to cheat the innocent beneficiaries. A situation was created now where Kapus were forced to go to other States in search of work and livelihood opportunities.
Satya Prasad said the TDP regime provided 5 percent reservations to Kapus without harming the BCs. Jagan Reddy has cancelled even these reservations. The CM showed his hatred towards Kapus by cancelling Kapu Bhavans.
The TDP MLA said that the Kapus should get ready to throw out Jagan Reddy for suppressing them in all aspects. No priority was given to Kapus even in nominated posts.
