As intriguing as it may sound, Kammas, who are seen as being financially wealthy and politically powerful, have lost their ability to represent the ruling party at the Center in the lok sabha or Rajya Sabha. The lone kamma community member in the bharatiya janata party up until thursday was former Union minister y s chowdary, also known as sujana Chowdary.
There is no longer a kamma MP representing the ruling party or its coalition partner in the national democratic alliance because he vacated his rajya sabha seat at the end of his tenure. Of course, Poonam Vajendla Mahajan, who represents the legislative district of mumbai (North-Central), is another bjp member. She is regarded as a kamma since she wed a kamma businessman, Vajendla Ramanand Rao, yet she was born a Brahmin; her father was a former Union minister.
A political expert claims that this is the first time in the nation's political history when neither the ruling party nor a member of the coalition government has a kamma MP. The Kammas had been a part of the governing party since at least 1952. Six kamma MPs from the ruling congress party served in the first lok sabha, including Kondru Subba Rao, Paidi Lakshmaiah, Kotha Raghuramaiah, and Kadiyala Gopala Rao.
