Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi president Manda Krishna Madiga announced his support for the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance, saying that he was confident in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu’s commitment to making the long-pending demand for categorisation of Scheduled Castes a reality. Speaking to media persons after submitting a memorandum to TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu at the latter’s residence at Undavalli in Guntur district on Sunday, Mr. Manda Krishna recalled that SC categorization was implemented in the undivided Andhra Pradesh when Mr. Naidu was the Chief Minister. Mr. Krishna Madiga said the MRPS would do an aggressive door-to-door campaign for the victory of TDP and its allies, and details would be discussed in a meeting planned to be held at Guntur on March 30. Of the 29 Assembly seats reserved for SCs, the YSRCP nominated only 10 Madiga leaders against TDP’s 14, he said and requested Pawan Kalyan to give one of the three reserved seats that were allotted to JSP to a leader from the Madiga community.
