Manda Krishna Madiga extends full support to NDA

Mangalagiri: The Madigas association with the TDP is eternal and it is only the TDP that has been striving hard for the welfare of the community, said party supremo and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu here on Sunday.

Several leaders of the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS), under the leadership of its founder president, Manda Krishna Madiga, called on Chandrababu Naidu at his Undavalli residence and extended their unconditional support to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the ensuing polls.

The MRPS leaders in a memorandum submitted to the TDP chief wanted a resolution to be passed by the coming NDA government in favour of the categorisation of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and provide proper place for Madigas in all Constitutional posts besides providing some nominated posts for them.

Later, Chandrababu Naidu told the MRPS leaders that Madigas always played a key role in the victory of the TDP and the community has been extending its support to the party for the past 40 years. "I always give top priority for the promotion of the Madiga community and the victory of the TDP is the victory of Madigas," Naidu told the MRPS leaders.

Stating that the MRPS is fighting hard with the YSRCP government much better than the TDP, Naidu promised to make Madigas as partners in the administration.

The TDP chief appreciated the ongoing fight of Manda Krishna against the atrocious rule of the State government.
