It is now becoming increasingly clear that Pawan Kalyan's future politics would be based on Kapu factor. Several Kapu leaders in the TRS too are slamming him saying that his politics would be reduced to a caste. Minister Kurasala Kannababu, a Kapu himself, has said that Pawan Kalyan will end up as a caste leader.
But there indeed is some movement among the Kapus. Some Kapu leaders are definitely moving close to Pawan Kalyan. For instance, it is a common knowledge that former minister Harirama Jogaiah is the mentor for Pawan in Kapu politics. Of late, even Vangaveeti Radhakrishna, son of legendary Kapu leader Vangaveeti Ranga, too is moving closer to Pawan Kalyan. His recent statements have supported Pawan Kalyan.
There is lot of interest about what will be the attitude of Kapu patriarch and former minister Mudragada Padmanabham. Mudragada has been the vanguard of Kapu politics since 1990s and had even sacrificed his political progress for the cause of the Kapus. He has led a massive agitation demanding inclusion of the Kapus in the BC category. When he has led the Kapu agitation, he did not get much support from the Kapus working in other parties. But, he plodded on. Will he now join hands with Pawan Kalyan for the Kapu cause?
Sources say that Mudragada will never support the TDP. He has always found the TDP antithetical to Kapu cause. He did back the YSRCP in the 2019 elections. But, the YSRCP too did not do much for the Kapus. Given this, will he join hands with Pawan Kalyan and take up the Kapu cause? Let's wait and see.
