Why Chiru Failed In 2009 Even Though 20% Of Voters Are Kapus ?

[Chinnodu412]

Kapus - who form the single largest community with about 20 per cent of the state's 78 million population - appear to have rallied behind Chiranjeevi , but this only assumption but reality is different.
 

Kapus were a traditional vote bank of the Congress before 2009

 

Kammas and Reddys are about 6 and 10 per cent respectively of the state's population

 

For the 294-member Assembly, the Congress has fielded 88 Reddys, the four-party Grand Alliance led by the TDP fielded 46 Kammas while the PRP gave the party ticket to 37 Kapus(NEVER ENCOURAGED AS YSR FOR REDDY'S)

 

The Kapus, who are economically and socially strong among backward classes, have several sub-castes; they also have differences with other backward classes

 

The Palakollu Assembly constituency in West Godavari, from where Chiranjeevi tested his political fortunes, is a classic example. There are serious differences between Kapus and OBCs like Setty Balijas and Devangulu (weavers).

 

 

 

BOTTOM LINE : Dont assume all kapus are same and even at high time like 2009 out of 20% kapu voters majarioty of people didnt support chiru and backed congress only , so the reason he failed in Palakollu Assembly. also

 

 

Even now pawan kalyan is planning to contest from KAKINADA because only reason as it is densly populated with kapu's , so pawan never trust this kapu equation come with some people service thoughts you can do better .ATB

 

Nothing controversial Just my anylsis .....
