Yes, there are much bigger scams, you will see it come up in Election year. JanaSena Chief Pawan Kalyan has already blown the bugle against Corruption by CBN son Nara Lokesh, it was quite a setback for CBN, who thought TDP could ally with Jana Sena for elections, but Pawan Kalyan gave a Broadside to CBN.
Call it ruthless, but Kapus of AP never got any Political Representation. despite being more than 15% of population of AP.
If BJP plays its caste cards well, it could dent TDP prospects, (Remember AP is still Caste factor based)
The following is the caste-wise percentage of population in Andhra pradesh:
OC:
Brahman 3.0
Kshatriya 1.2
Komati 2.7
Kamma 4.8
reddy 6.5
Kapu 15.2
Velama 3.0
BC:
Balija 3.0
Boya/Besta 0.7
Chakali 4.2
Devanga 2.1
Dudekula 0.4
Gavara 0.4
Golla 6.3
Idiga 1.0
Jangam 0.4
Kammara/ Vishwa Brahmana 2.1
Kummari 0.9
Kurma 1.3
Munnurukapu 0.8
Mangali 1.3
Mutrasi 3.3
Sale 2.9
Telaga 5.2
Uppara 0.6
Waddera 1.8
Others 5.4
SC/ST:
Madiga 7.3
Mala 9.7
Others:
Muslims,christians etc 7.0
I don;t like these caste things as i say we are all Rishi Santaan. But if Opponents play dirty, all Bets are off. BJP should concentrate on promoting Pawan Kalyan's JanaSena Party in AP and Munnuru Kapus in TG .
To counter votes and make it favourable to vote for so and so party.
Is Pavan Kalyan getting any traction on ground? His brother and brother-in-law were big disappointments with Praja Rajayam experiement.
