Behind The Scene: Naidu's Caste Equations

The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu is a Kamma. So, it was not surprising that he appointed a fellow Kamma, Ramudu as the Director-General of Police of Andhra Pradesh.

Next, Naidu needed to appoint the ‘Intelligence Chief’ of Andhra Pradesh and he decided against the frontrunner, Ch. Dwaraka Tirumala Rao and preferred N V Surendra Babu who was also a Kamma.

But Naidu’s advisers told him that having the CM, DGP and Intelligence Chief all from the same community would send out the wrong signals.

So, reluctantly Naidu decided to drop Surendra Babu’s name. Instead, who does he appoint? AR Anuradha, a Tamilian who is all set to become the first woman intelligence chief!

So, what’s wrong in that? Nothing, except that Anuradha happens to be the wife of Surendra Babu.

Ha ha ha! Wah Naidu! Nine years in the opposition certainly hasn’t dented that cunning mind of yours!
