Vijay Sai Reddy is yet at the centre of another controversy. The fresh controversy took place at a community meeting in Visakhapatnam. The Kapu Sena has organized an Atmeeya Kalayika program with Kapu, Telaga, Balija, Turpu Kapu, Munnuru Kapu and other sub-caste communities at Kambalakonda.
For this meet, minister Avanti Srinivas along with YCP general secretary Vijay Sai Reddy have attended. Vijay Sai Reddy’s presence at the Kapu meet has kicked up the controversy. Vijay Sai Reddy was called on to the dais and even asked the light the lamp. This is enough to fuel to the debate.
Several Kapu leaders and Kapu yuvasena members have protested Vijay Sai Reddy’s presence on dais and lighting the lamp. They questioned that whether it was YCP meet or was it Kapu meet. While Avanti Srinivas had tried to pacify the Kapu Sena members, they have raised slogans of Kapu leaders. The names of Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga and Gudivada Amarnatha Rao have been heard from crowd. The flexis of Vangaveeti and Gudivada have been displayed and worshiped by doing Abhishekam with milk. This has turned huge embarrassment to Vijay Sai Reddy. Vijay Sai Reddy had tried to clarify that he is also Kapu.
Vijay Sai Reddy claimed that he is a Reddy from Nellore district where Reddys of Nellore are also called as ‘Kapu’. Vijay Sai Reddy went onto defend his claim further. He claimed that his tenth class marks memo certificate mentioned his caste as ‘Kapu’. Even then, the protests of Kapu leaders didn’t stop. After staying for a while, Vijay Sai Reddy had left the spot. Later, the Kapu leaders have cornered minister Avanti Srinivas for bringing Vijay Sai Reddy to the event.
Meanwhile, the Kapu leaders who had attended the meet have spoken about the Kapu reservations at the event. This has further put Avanti Srinivas and Vijay Sai Reddy in a tight spot. Avanti Srinivas had also lost cool. He said he has background. He said out of the 11 elected YCP MLAs in the district, Avanti said he alone had got the ministry. Avanti asked the Kapu sena leaders to not test his patience. He said that’s not the right time to raise the issue of Kapu reservations.
