BJP is doing a workaround to ally one of Pawan Kalyan’s community leader Mudragada Padmanabham to strengthen the alliance and to corner the Jagan reddy Kapu camp. Challenges ahead for kapu voters and political parties? Do Bihar BJP’s strategy and tactics work in Andhra Pradesh?
Mudragada Padmanabham is an Indian politician, an ex-Member of Parliament from Kakinada, and political activist known for campaigning for the inclusion of the Kapu (caste) in the Backward Class (BC) category.
Mudragada Padmanabham was a four-time Member of Legislative Assembly, a one-time Member of Parliament and Minister in Telugu Desam Party and Indian National Congress governments. He started his political career as Janata Party MLA in 1978. Later, when N. T. Rama Rao started Telugu Desam Party in 1982, he joined and won both 1983 and 1985 elections from Prattipadu Assembly constituency in East Godavari District.
