Narendra Modi said that Chandrababu Naidu had walked into Jagan’s trap over the SCS issue when he severed ties with the BJP.
The Kapu reservation issue might be just another case of Jagan outsmarting Chandrababu.
The BCs are opposed to according reservation to the Kapus as they fear it will eat into their quota.
Jagan says the reservation issue falls within the purview of the Centre and the Kapus take this as a sign that he is not interested in providing reservation to them.
Quick to seize in on the opportunity, Naidu immediately asked his MPs to take up the issue in Parliament along with SCS issue. This move has angered the BC communities who feel Chandrababu is against their interests.
The Kapus did not vote for Jagan in the last election. Therefore, he has nothing to lose but everything to gain with his decision.
The BC votes were split between the TDP and YSRCP the last time but they are now overwhelmingly in favour of YSJ whereas Chandrababu has an uphill task in trying to win their confidence back thanks to his commitment to the Kapus to take up their cause in Parliament.
