Ravela Revolts Against Babu: What's Up?

Ravela Revolts Against Babu: What's Up?

Ever since he was dropped from the Chandrababu Naidu cabinet early this year, former Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Minister Ravela Kishore Babu has been creating embarrassing moments for the Telugu Desam Party leadership and whenever there was an opportunity, he is taking a dig at the party, without of course naming Naidu.

Taking advantage of his Madiga community, Ravela has been creating troubles for Naidu, as the latter has been conveniently ignoring the demand of the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) for categorisation of SCs.

While Naidu has been vehemently opposing MRPS leader Manda Krishna Madiga, Ravela has been expressing his solidarity behind the latter.

On Thursday, Ravela once again took up the cause of SC categorisation.

“My leader is Manda Krishna Madiga. I will follow only his footsteps. If the TDP government tries to stop his agitation, I don’t hesitate to give up my MLA seat. For me, posts are not important but the cause of SC categorisation,” the former minister said.

Naturally, this will anger Naidu. May be Ravela has already chalked out his plan to get out of the TDP or he must be blackmailing Naidu stating that any action against him would anger the SC community.

In July this year, Ravela posters appeared in Guntur district welcoming Manda Krishna Madiga on the occasion of its public meeting – Kurukshetra Maha Sabha – in front of Acharya Nagarjuna University gate. There are reports that Ravela himself was behind the entire public meeting and he had provided the financial assistance to Krishna Madiga.
