Mudragada Padmanabham Criticizes Pawan Kalyan's Political Motives

Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham has recently leveled sharp criticisms against Pawan Kalyan, the chief of Jana Sena, since his induction into the YSR Congress Party. In a recent statement, Mudragada questioned Pawan Kalyan's motives for entering politics from cinema, specifically if it was for monetary reasons. He criticized Kalyan for allegedly allying with Chandrababu Naidu during the Kapu movement, accusing Naidu of suppressing the movement and humiliating his family, including his wife, daughter-in-law, and children, by detaining them for 14 days under harsh conditions, where they were reportedly denied clean drinking water and had to drink from a wash basin.

Mudragada expressed his grievances during a close gathering of YSR Congress Party's Kapu community members in Undi, attended by himself and YSRCP MLA candidate P.V.L. Narsimha Raju. He condemned Pawan Kalyan for not questioning Chandrababu Naidu even once while his family was being persecuted. Additionally, he shared his frustration about being verbally abused after joining the YSRCP following a call from Jagan Mohan Reddy, questioning why he should follow such individuals. Mudragada directly challenged Pawan Kalyan's political standing by questioning whether he even has a single MLA or is competing statewide.
