Caste has made a stunning comeback in the political discourse of Andhra Pradesh. The political wizards and pundits are talking about caste configurations. Every political party is now discussing castes and their political strengths.

The TDP is desperately trying to court the Kapus and is trying to woo the Jana Sena of Pawan Kalyan. The party feels that Kapu + Kamma + BCs is a sure-fire winning combination.

The TDP feels that an alliance with Jana Sena would help it sweep both the Godavari districts. Hence every effort is being made to stitch up an alliance with the Jana Sena.

Meanwhile, the YSRCP too is making its own computations on castes. It wants to keep the Kapus in its fold. It wants to bring back Vangaveeti Radhakrishna into the YSRCP.

Minister Kodali Nani has reportedly been tasked with bringing Nani into the party. If Kapu icon Radhakrishna joins the YSRCP, the party would be immensely benefited.

Radha too is not happy with the TDP as it is courting Pawan Kalyan. Importance to Pawan Kalyan is loss of importance for Vangaveeti Radha. Hence, he is said to be looking towards the YSRCP.

It is in this backdrop that he had recently said during the unveiling of his father's statue that no party has used him properly and that every party was trying to exploit him. He said being Ranga's son is his biggest position. It remains to be seen how both the main parties try to woo the Kapus.
