If Pawan Kalyan Emerges Victorious in Pithapuram, It Could Pose a Challenge for Mudragada Padmanabham
Former leader of the Kapu movement, Mudragada Padmanabham, who has now become a vocal critic of Pawan Kalyan, may face a setback if Kalyan secures a win in Pithapuram.
Once a staunch supporter of Pawan Kalyan and an advocate for significant political concessions, Mudragada’s allegiance has shifted, and he now vehemently opposes Kalyan’s political ambitions.
Having transitioned from his leadership role in the Kapu community to joining the YSR Congress, Mudragada is actively campaigning for Kalyan’s defeat, conducting press conferences in Pithapuram to express his disapproval.
In a recent development, Mudragada made a bold statement, expressing his intention to change his name from Padmanabha to Padmanabha Reddy if he fails to secure victory against Pawan Kalyan in Pithapuram.
Continuing his critique of film personalities entering politics, Mudragada questions Kalyan’s decision to contest from Pithapuram and demands clarity regarding his local connections.
Mudragada’s provocative challenge to change his name in the event of failure has sparked controversy, with many Kapu leaders expressing discomfort over his association with the YSRCP party.
