The Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) Chief demanded exemption to educational institutions from taking part in the stir, keeping in mind the academic interests of the students. He felt that Telangana leaders were provoking students to take part in the ongoing stir, for formation of a separate Telangana state, he felt it was not correct.

While talking to the media on Monday at Rajahmundry, the MRPS Chief Manda Krishna Madiga, said that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi chief, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), the Telangana Joint Action Committee (Political) convenor, Mr Kodandaram, MLA, Mr Harish Rao and others, were encouraging the students to take active part in the ongoing agitation for Telangana, and alleged that they were not allowing their own children to take part in the stir. He asked the Telangana leaders to disclose the details of where their children were pursuing studies.

He said that children from oppressed sections of the society were being deprived of the opportunity to pursue studies, under the influence of the T-stir, while the children from the T-leaders were being sent abroad or other areas, to pursue studies without any disturbance.

He also requested people from the Madiga community to keep away from the stir and be prepared to protest in Hyderabad on December 17, if the centre failed to introduce SC sub- categorisation Bill in the winter session of the Parliament

He further ascertained that by mere resignations and the ongoing T-stir would have no impact on the centre, unless the Union minister for petroleum and natural gas, Mr Jaipal Reddy, who holds a key portfolio, submits his resignation.
