Yesterday, the Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP government appointed the board members for the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam’s Trust after almost one year after the end of term of the previous board. The new board will serve for the next 2 years.4Meanwhile, the appointment of TDP’s Payakaraopet MLA Vangalapudi Anitha has given rise to a huge controversy.
