Mudragada calls off fast
Hyderabad, Feb 8 (INN): Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham called off his four-day fast following an assurance by the Andhra Pradesh Government that his demands would be fulfilled.
The decision to call off the fast was taken after Labour Minister K. Achan Naidu, AP TDP president K Kala Venkat Rao, legislators B Bhaskara Rama Rao and Thota Trimurthulu held discussion with him while partially accepting his demands. The discussions were held for nearly one-and-a-half hour.
The AP Government has agreed to count the nine-month deadline given to Manjunatha Commission on Kapu reservations from the date of Cabinet decision. This would effectively bring down the period from nine to less than seven months. The State Government has also decided to allocate Rs 500 crore for the Kapu welfare. All the applications received by the Kapu Development Corporation would be considered positively. It has also agreed to allocate Rs 1000 crore in the coming annual budget.
The government would conduct a deep probe into the Tuni violence and would book cases only after the probe. Innocent persons would not be victimised.
Mudragada's proposal to include a person suggested by him in the BC Welfare Corporation would also be considered.
