Questions Over Remarks on Vangaveeti Ranga and Gaddar
The meeting also talked about Pawan Kalyan’s comments on the murder of Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga and the shooting incident involving Gaddar. Kapu leaders asked if it is fair to blame the community for these incidents. They said that the governments in power at that time also had a role to play. Using historical events for political commentary can create unnecessary social tensions.
Questions Raised About Political Consistency
The leaders also looked at decisions and statements made by Pawan Kalyan. They asked why he took positions on issues like Special Category Status, the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and Amaravati land acquisition.. Later he remained silent on these issues. Critics said that frequent changes in positions have created doubts about consistency and credibility.
What Happened to the Call for Kapus to Play a ‘ Brother’ Role?
Before elections Pawan Kalyan had asked the Kapu community to play a big role in shaping the states political future..

Criticism Over Treatment of Leaders Who Worked for Jana Sena
The participants also expressed dissatisfaction with Pawan Kalyan’s comments about leaders who worked for both the Praja Rajyam Party and Jana Sena Party.

Before commenting on leaders who left the party there should be introspection about the reasons that led to their departure.
Is the Kapu Community Receiving Adequate Recognition?
The meeting also highlighted concerns about the recognition given to figures from the Kapu community. The leaders pointed out that despite the contributions of freedom fighters, social reformers and political leaders from the community they have not received adequate recognition at the government level. They said that while districts, welfare schemes and institutions have been named after leaders from communities, similar recognition for Kapu icons has been limited.
Reservation Issue Back in Focus
The issue of Kapu reservations was also raised during the meeting. The leaders stated that promises made regarding the implementation of reservations for the Kapu community have not been fully fulfilled. They urged parties to clearly state their position on the matter. They emphasized that leaders speaking about justice should adopt a consistent approach toward all communities rather than selectively addressing issues.
