If the reports coming from internal sources of the ruling YSR Congress party in Telangana are to be believed, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams is soon going to have a jumbo trust board.
According to these reports, the Jagan government has decided to appoint as many as 25-26 members of the TTD trust board, as against the existing 15-member board.
It has been more than a month since Jagan appointed his uncle Y V Subba Reddy as the TTD trust board chairman. But so far, he did not appoint the other members of the board, as a result of which the TTD is not in a position to take any policy decision.
Only Subba Reddy is taking decisions in consultations with the Executive Officer and other officials on the board.
He has been confined to Tirupati and his attempt to have a camp office near Tadepalli closer to Jagan’s residence was shot down by the chief minister.
Apparently, there has been a lot of pressure on Jagan from various quarters to be included in the trust board. Since he has to fill various nominated posts anyway, he is understood to have thought some of the party leaders be accommodated in the trust board.
Out of 25-26 members to be appointed on the board, Jagan is learnt to have decided that three members would be from Telangana, two from Chennai, two from Karnataka, eight members under the central quota to be recommended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.
The remaining members would be either YSRC MLAs or leaders who have been promised to be appointed in various posts in the government.
