Re: Thread on YSR :The man, his mission, his demise and legacy

This guy is a velama ? How does this Caste fit into the whole equation in AP? They both are friends for long time. I'm not sure it has anything to do being Velama. At most it could have helped to tame Velama dissidence when Jalagam and co got raw deal. KCR, who is also Velama, however fits into cas...
