What a Shame activities by Kapus in AP for renaming the district name from Ambedkar konaseema to #Konaseema.
Actually Kapus becoming neo brahmins,they won’t protest if govt gives any God/goddesses name to district but they’ll protest against Ambedkar’s name.@Profdilipmandal pic.twitter.com/9cvyNIHdOt
