Interview With Manda Krishna Madiga December 24, 2009 Y. Sunitha Chowdhary Every family is splitting, 99 per cent families are disintegrating. The best example of a perfect government and governance is USA. The country has nearly 30 crore population living in 51 states. Chandrababu Naidu has neither vision or credibility. He has failed his people, his Party and cadre, never stood on his word. Yanamala said don't use the word Telangana in 1999. It's been 25 years and the Government has not brought in GO 610, they said it would come into effect in 3 months but we had to wait this long. YSR fooled the Telanganites too. As the poll campaign was on he spoke in such a way that convinced Telangana people and he assured them but the moment election got over in Telangana he said people will require a visa to come to Hyderabad if they vote for TRS. In 1971 he took active part in Rayalaseema Vidroha Dinam. How can this man be a Samaikhyavadi? YSR organized a meeting in Sudha Residency with Rayalaseema leaders. He too is two-tongued man. Infact both the chief ministers CBN and YSR used the people for their selfish ends. Each one of them supported and ditched Telangana as and when it suited them. It is immaterial for MRPS whether KCR is into match fixing with Sonia or not. All we want is a separate Telangana. MRPS is committed to supporting people in their fight. Now we are supporting people for separate Andhra. I plead all of you to go separate ways otherwise we will have problems in the future, let's divide our assets don't we do it in the family? They have been promising Telangana since 50 years, now we are not prepared to wait. I added Madiga to my name in 1994. People now call me with respect, they address me as Krishna Madiga garu. It is not wrong to love one's caste but it is wrong, an offence to abuse other's caste..people have been since long ridiculing Madigas as Madigodu, Maalodu. MRPS is committed to doing good to the society, we have contributed in a major way. YSR admitted that Arogyasri was inspired by me..he said that four days before he died in the Assembly in his thanksgiving speech to the Speaker. A girl from Madira in Khammam district required one lakh 40 thousand for a heart operation. She was a Muslim. Her name is Naseem. I took her to YSR and he gave only 25 thousand. When I asked him for the rest he refused, he asked her to accumulate the rest on her own. When I insisted he said if he concedes to the demand, everyone will approach him with the same request. He even threatened to kill me if I pursued the demand. He then came up with Arogyasri and started doling out to kids operations and then extended it to adults as well for the election. This is one contribution of MRPS. He applied it to handicapped people and for the pension as well. MRPS has 80 lakh followers, we began with 20 people. I was 6 years old when I was going with my mother to collect her day's wages. I had a stick in my hand and was playing with it. It accidently touched her employer. He hit me so hard with that stick and abused our caste. My mother instead of consoling me fell at his feet and begged, apologized. That left an indelible impression on my mind.
