What Caste Voter Did With Posani?

We know Posani Krishna Murali, a well-known writer, director and actor has contested elections under Praja Rajyam seat in 2009. However, he could not win the elections. There were also rumors that Posani asked voters to vote him playing the caste card. Rubbishing all those rumors, Posani clarified an incident of what actually happened.

Talking to a channel, this is what this actor cum writer had to say – “Yes, it is true that I asked a voter to vote for me to which she asked me to come inside. I said I am contesting the elections for the first time and asked to vote for me. To which she replied, You are contesting for MLA on behalf of a Kapu party and if they come to power, they will not let live our Kammas. I then asked if she can get me some tea to which she obliged. I had the tea and came away. This is what has happened”, clarified Posani.

Well, strange are the way politics works, especially in a biggest democratic country like India where we have people of different castes, culture and religions living across the country. One wonders, if caste factor will ever go away from people’s minds while casting their vote.
