The assault on government whip and Macharla MLA Pinnelli Ramakrsihna Reddy is clear indication of how the caste works in Amaravati.
The assaulters were identified as the students from Guntur’s Chandramoulipuram-based RVR & JC College.
The college management, like many of the educational institutions in the two districts, is closely associated with the TDP.
Ironically, the Siddhartha Group of institutions in Vijayawada and the JKC colleges and RVR & JC, are the base where the caste politics are inflicted to the youth.
The JKC College and others in Guntur and the Siddhartha institutions in Vijayawada, tag students with the caste and the students on the campus are divided as K (Kamma) and NK (Non-Kamma). Unfortunately, the teaching staff back the K groups on the campus for years together.
These institutions have become the breeding centeres of hatred based on caste and the students from these institutions display the ugliest side of the caste.
Perhaps, this ugly display of caste by the youth and some industrialists and politicians is one of the reasons why the non-Kamma castes have rallied together in the 2019 general elections.
Unmindful of the shameful and humiliating defeat, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and his party leaders are now rallying the Kamma youth along with the Kamma farmers of Amaravati villages against Jaganmohan Reddy government’s three capitals proposal.
These caste-inflicted mind students from the RVR and JC Engineering College from Guntur were seen abusing and attacking Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy, and that shows how the TDP is using the educational institutions to fight the political battle against the government.
