Non-Kapus Unhappy With Jana Sena In Allocation Of Posts
They say two leaders are enjoying three posts each while other leaders are not being kept aside.
Kakinada:Non-Kapus in the Jana Sena (JS) are unhappy with the party leadership as all key posts are being allocated to those from the Kapu community.
Many JS leaders have been waiting for recognition and appointments to senior administrative posts, but in vain. They say two leaders are enjoying three posts each while other leaders are not being kept aside.
Jana Sena’s Kakinada convener Thota Sudhir is chairman of the civil supplies corporation and president of the local Durgamma Thalli temple trust board. Non-Kapu leaders alleged that he enjoyed three posts.
The party’s Kakinada district president Thummala Ramaswamy alias Babu is chairman of the district cooperative central bank and is also the Peddapuram constituency incharge. Previously, he had been appointed as chairman of Kakinada urban development authority.
When the party faced allegations on the appointments, he resigned the KUDA chairman post. Now, another leader Talatam Naga Venkata Satyanarayana (Talatam Satya) has been appointed as the chairman. This irritated non-Kapus.
Though many non-kapu leaders are silently lamenting their sidelining, some leaders are speaking out. Recently a Jana Sena leader and fishermen leader M. Gangadhar questioned the injustice to Kakinada Lok Sabha member Uday Srinivas.
He said, “I and some of my community leaders spent lakhs for the electoral victory of Jana Sena candidates, but we are being ignored in the party.”
“Without doing any work for the party, some leaders are taking up the posts. The Jana Sena party is doing injustice to the BC and SC leaders. I am providing ration etc in the name of Pawan Kalyan to 400 poor families. I am rendering other service activities too to help the party earn a good name. But the party has not recognised my services,” he stated to the MP bitterly.
The MP could not give an answer to him, it is learnt.
Gangadhar said nearly 1.30 lakh BCs including 80,000 fishermen are living in Kakinada constituency. They mostly strived hard for the victory of the JS and the other alliance candidates in the last elections. candidates.
“I asked local leaders to arrange for me an appointment with Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan to bring the fishermen's issues to his notice. But it has not materialised so far,” he said.
However, some leaders in these communities are hopeful Pawan Kalyan would do justice to them in future.
