Opposition leader YS Jagan has stirred up a hornet’s nest. By announcing to name Krishna district after NTR, Jagan seems to have courted a self goal. While a section have welcomed Jagan’s move initially, many are raising their concerns over changing the district’s name to NTR’s district since the district is named after river Krishna that is very auspicious, close to hearts of many.
Even as the debate continues and people seems to have divided, here comes another interesting and rightful demand from the followers of another leader. The followers of Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga have been demanding Jagan to name Krishna district after Vangaveeti Ranga. Since Ranga’s son Vangaveeti Radha is also member of YSR Congress Party, this demand from Vangaveeti Ranga’s fans are expected to put Jagan in trouble. He could neither accept their demand nor he could turn it down since the scion of Ranga himself is in his own party.
In addition to this, Kapu community in Krishna district has been mounting pressure on Jagan & co after his announcement. Jagan can’t even go back on his word now since he has already made a public statement during his Padayatra in Krishna district. Apparently, many Kapu Leaders in the YCP expressed anger over Jagan’s announcement of renaming of the Krishna district without consulting them. They also stayed away from participating his Pada yatra which was going on in the same district.
Looks like, Jagan seems to have invited an unwanted controversy. In order to pacify the Kapu community leaders, Jagan is said to be holding talks and trying to convince them by saying he will also consider their demand when he comes to power. Jagan reportedly assured Kapu leaders that he would divide Krishna district into two and name one of them after NTR and the other after Ranga.
The moot question is will the people of Krishna district such act of Jagan to politicize the district with the names and divide the district almost on community lines.
