Is This Why Kodandaram Wants Kapilavai Dileep To Contest From Malkajgiri?

Though the seat adjustment has not been finalized among the Congress-led Praja Kutami, Prof Kodandaram of the Telangana Jana Samiti has gone ahead and announced the candidate for Malkajgiri assembly constituency. On Sunday, Prof Kodandaram announced that former MLC Kapilavai Dileep Kumar would be TJS candidate from Malkajgiri. Prof Kodandaram addressed the party workers on the occasion.

Dileep Kumar shot into prominence as the personal secretary of KCR during the peak of Telangana agitation. KCR had also nominated him as an MLC. However, Dileep Kumar fell out with KCR and resigned from the TRS. He later joined the Congress and the BJP. Currently, he is a key leader of the TJS. Dileep Kumar is a Brahmin and Malkajgiri has a huge Brahmin population. But, the BJP also has nominated N Ramachandra Rao, a Brahmin for Malkajgiri. Kapilavai Dileep Kumar known as a master strategist and planner.

Dileepkumar's brother Kapilavai Ravinder is with the BJP. He had contested from Khammam MP seat in 2014. So, the important lesson is Kodandara may not believe in caste, but when it comes to politics, caste is very important for him too. Otherwise why would he field a Brahmin for Malkajgiri?
