Pawan drowing kapus in deep blue sea Former home minister Chegondi Hare Ramajogaiah has raised serious concerns, alleging that Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has disappointed the hopes of the Kapu community, and he apprehends that Pawan Kalyan is on the verge of compromising Kapu interests to Telugu Desam chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu.
In a letter addressed to the Kapu community on Sunday, Ramajogaiah emphasized the precarious social landscape in the state, highlighting the potential threat to the existence of the Kapu community. He expressed his dismay, stating that the ongoing political developments are not conducive to the well-being of Kapus.
Ramajogaiah pointed out the historical exploitation of the Kapu community by political parties, likening their treatment to the use of curry leaves—employed for flavor and discarded after each election. Urging the Kapus to be discerning and not fall prey to political maneuvers, he asserted, "Kapus are not ready to be cheated by Chandrababu Naidu."
Drawing attention to the initial hopes vested in Pawan Kalyan as a leader for the Kapu community after Vangaveeti Ranga, Ramajogaiah lamented the perceived betrayal as Pawan Kalyan aligned himself with Chandrababu Naidu. He deemed this alliance as a betrayal of Kapu interests and suggested that the allegations of Pawan Kalyan receiving favors from Telugu Desam might hold truth in light of current developments.
Expressing bewilderment at TD leader Nara Lokesh unilaterally declaring Chandrababu Naidu as the next chief minister without consulting Jana Sena, Ramajogaiah accused Chandrababu of scheming to undermine the self-respect of Kapus. Despite his previous open letter to Pawan Kalyan about the prevailing political trends, neither Pawan Kalyan nor Jana Sena’s political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar responded to his concerns.
Ramajogaiah concluded by speculating that Pawan Kalyan might eventually merge Jana Sena into the Telugu Desam, urging Kapus to raise their voices and safeguard the interests and dignity of their community. The letter serves as a stark warning about the potential repercussions of political alliances on the Kapu community's well-being and identity.
