The appointment of senior Telugu Desam Party leader from Allagadda in Kurnool district A V Subba Reddy as the chairman of AP Seeds Development Corporation by party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is learnt to have upset state tourism minister Bhuma Akhila Priya.
It is an open secret that Akhila and Subba Reddy do not go along with each other well, as the latter is eyeing Allagadda assembly ticket in 2019 elections. Akhila, who got elected on YSR Congress party ticket and later jumped into the TDP, got a berth in the Chandrababu Naidu cabinet and is trying to dominate the Allagadda and Nandyal politics, ignoring Subba Reddy.
Though Naidu tried to bring about a truce between the two warring groups, Akhila and Subba continued to indulge in rivalry.The two groups even indulged in physical assaults during the TDP deekshas for special category status in April last. Subsequently, Naidu had to call both of them and pacified them stating that he would take care of their interests.Yet, Akhila has been desperately trying to snub Subba Reddy politically by seeing that he would not get any post. But much to her shock, Naidu appointed Subba Reddy as the chairman of AP Seeds Development Corporation, which is a Cabinet rank post.
Apparently, Naidu wants to silence Subba Reddy and his group, while giving confidence to Akhila that her seat would be intact.But Akhila is said to have felt that elevation of Subba Reddy to the corporation chairman post was only to reduce her control over Allagadda constituency.Now, the local TDP leaders would run after Subba Reddy than her for every work, sources close to her said.
