Indian Politics: Notorious Reddy Politics in AP

Indian Politics: Notorious Reddy Politics in AP
Dr. Abdul Ruff Colachal
That caste lines and family lineage dominate Indian politics,
administration, police, media and judiciary is not breaking news. Sons
and daughters and other relatives replace their elders in politics and
government. This is also known as democracy.
But some castes with meagre percentage of population in states and
national levels control every thing in the country and this fact does
not reflected in the media. In Andhra Pradesh (AP), for instance, the
Reddy community with meager percentage of total population dictates
terms not only to AP but New Delhi. They play one community against
another and rule the state by making adjustment with another important
community Rao that also has meagre population. So much so, Reddys have
assured of top slots in government including Chief-minister's post by
virtue of being manipulative Reddys.
Leading political outfits in the state promoted the Reddy for
political purposes of controlling other castes. Congress MP Y S
Jaganmohan Reddy says as a Reddy community guy and a son of former AP
cheifminister, he deserves special treatment by the country and
Congress party that rules the nations with help from like-minded
parties. O n Monday Reddy announced his decision to resign from the
party and Lok Sabha alleging that the Congress 'humiliated' his
family. Reddy possibly had expected to replace the CM who recently was
asked to resign to make room for another Reddy.
The Reddy community that has less than 5 percent population in AP has,
over decades, established strong networks in the state as well as in
the country for promotion of the caste people and they have entered by
bargain the key political parties like Congress and BJP. Reddys are
readily pampered by the Indian state in USA and elsewhere. In politics
and government, including judiciary, police and bureaucracy, Reddy
community dominates.
The powerful Reddys have assumed that only their families can rule the
state. Indeed, an extremely ambitious media guy Jagan wanted to
quickly occupy CM seat and claimed that 150 MLAs had supported him to
succeed his father, then chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy who
died in a helicopter crash in September last year. Jagan has been
running a defiant campaign since the leadership turned down his claim
for the chief minister's post since after his father's death. The
young MP has been targeting K. Rosaiah, who stepped down as chief
minister last week on grounds of health.
In order to outsmart Jagan's atrocious moves for CM seat, last week,
the Delhi leadership named a Reddy the state assembly Speaker Kiran
Kumar Reddy as Rosaiah's successor. Jagan's mother Vijayalakshmi was
elected unopposed from Pulivendula constituency in Kadapa district in
December last year, on purely sympathy votes, following YSR's death.
But both mother and son now think they alone are the natural choices
for CM and central cabinets. Both mother and son Reddys want plum
posts.
Fourteen months after Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy died in a helicopter
crash, his son Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy resigned from the Congress and
from parliament. Jagan's mother Vijayalakshmi also quit the Congress
as well as her Andhra Pradesh assembly seat. Alleging that he and his
family were insulted by the party on several occasions since the death
of his father, Jagan said he had no other option. Jagan's move to quit
the party came at a time when the leadership was planning to take
disciplinary action against him for using his Sakshi television
channel and media network to attack Sonia GandhiSonia Gandhi.
Telengana campaign was originally initiated by former AP CM Chenna
Reddy when his position was weakened and he was out of power but with
the Telengana power, the Congress party was coerced to consider the
"legitimate" concerns of "Reddys and Chenna was back as CM and when
actor NT Rama Rao came to power he once again began the Telegana trick
to get governor's post in Tamil Nadu. Reddys believe Telengana is a
potential weapon to achieve what they want in AP, India an abroad.
Jaga plays his card that way. He perhaps thinks if Congress party
loses one MP in parliament, it would be bullied to support him to
become AP CM. the party lured his uncle Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy away
with a ministerial post. "I and my mother are resigning from the
primary membership of the Congress party." he said.
The Reddy thinks by resigning form the Parliament, he would pressure
Congress that does not have majority in the house so as to concede his
prime demand of CM chair.
But once out of Congress party the junior Reddy would be nowhere
because he has no support outside Congress party and he would be gone
shortly. BJP cannot make political mileage by embracing another Reddy.

is caused by anti-Islamic forces. Fake democracies like USA and India
have zero tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other
aggressive practices. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more
dangerous than "terrorism". Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using
criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they are harming
genuine interests of ordinary Muslims. Unfortunately, we have many
hypocrites among Muslims. (abdulruff_jnu@yahoo.com)
