Mudragada Padmanabham demands for separate category in BCs to Kapu Community

Kapu activist and former MP Mudragada Padmanabham fighting for reservation to the Kapu community under the Backward Class has now placed a special demand with the Andhra Pradesh government. He demanded a separate category in the Backward Class apart from the existing ABCD categories in order to avoid indifferences with other communities.

BC reservation is divided under ABCD categories and each caste is classed into the categories according to rules. Mudragada wrote a letter to the AP Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, seeking for a special category for sub castes in the Kapu community to avoid conflicts with other communities.

This division may not be easy and feasible with the critics claiming that such an allotment would result in more conflict and injustice to the other castes.

A commission is studying the Kapu community in order to finalise it the reservation and divide the sub-castes among relevant ABCD categories. However, Mudragada's new demand has made the work more complex.
