Hyderabad: YSR Congress has demanded the State Government to solve the Kapu issue amicably and refrain from double standards in dealing the fast of Mudragada Padmanabaham whose fast has entered the ninth day.

‘The officials and ministers are giving contradictory statements which is causing concern over the condition of the Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham and we demand that the government should not make take it as a prestige issue but should try to solve the imbroglio amicably,’ party senior leader Botsa Satyanarayana told reporters here on Friday.

No one is allowed to see the fasting leader and his condition has been of great concern to the people of the state. On one hand the district collector and DGP called on him and held talks on behalf of the government and said that they had conveyed his message to the concerned.

The ministers on the other hand have been passing snide remarks on the fast and have hurt the community and this is spreading wide dissent among the people. The contrast has put the state under utter confusion, he said. There is no reply on the questions raised by Mudgragada and no news is coming out about the condition of the 67-year fasting Kapu leader and the situation has been very delicate.

The officials had said that he has agreed to take fluids and gave a statement which was never made public and the ministers speak about his health in a demeaning manner and that law will take its own course which is not in good taste at this juncture, he said. ‘This is not the time to try to eke out political mileage of the issue which is very delicate and instead should be solved very amicably. We condemn the dual standards of the government on the issue and demand that the social issue should be solved cordially without attaching any political strings,’ he said.
