Caste census plan a part of Jagan’s political conspiracy, says TDP

The caste census of the Backward Classes (BCs) in Andhra Pradesh is nothing but part of a political conspiracy by Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for electoral gains, claimed TDP politburo member and former minister Kalava Srinivasulu on Tuesday. He appealed to the BCs in the state not to fall victim to this political conspiracy by reposing faith in Jagan. Talking to media persons here, the TDP politburo member asked Jagan as to why he has not mounted pressure on the Centre all these years if at all he was serious on working for the welfare of BCs. “At least Mr Jagan would have asked his party MPs to raise the caste census issue on the floor of Parliament,” he felt. Not raising the issue on any platform all these years and without asking those concerned with this, bringing the matter onto the scene suddenly is the best example for his political opportunism,” Srinivasulu observed.
