With Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham gaining some mileage after his recent agitations, it is being said that two senior Congress leaders are now trying to convince him for a new political party. One among them is said to be former Tirupathi MP Chinthamohan.
The other leader is former Rajahmundry MP Harsha kumar. They are reportedly trying to tell him that if SC’s and Kapus combine in Andhra Pradesh, no one can ignore them in 2019 elections. Hence all the former big men are planning for a comeback! Mudragada's response is awaited.
