Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has once again faced criticism for the distribution of nominated posts among alliance partners, Jana Sena Party (JSP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). On Tuesday, Naidu filled 31 long-pending state-level nominated posts, with the majority going to TDP leaders.
Out of these 31 posts, the TDP secured a dominant share of 25 positions. In contrast, the Jana Sena Party received only three posts, and the BJP was allotted just two. The remaining one post was given to the Bahujan JAC.
The appointments were made considering community representation: six posts went to Open Categories (OCs), 17 to Backward Classes (BCs), four to Scheduled Castes (SCs), one to Scheduled Tribes (ST), and two to minorities. Regional balance was also taken into account during the selections.
The three posts allocated to Jana Sena Party leaders include: Guntasala Venkata Lakshmi from Denduluru as Chairperson of Andhra Pradesh Vaddi Development Corporation, Sheik Riyaz as Chairman of Ongole Urban Development Authority, and Vampuru Gangulaiah from Paderu as Chairman of the Folk Arts and Creative Arts Academy.
The BJP received two key posts: Dasari Srinivasulu from Tirupati as Chairman of Hindu Dharma Parirakshana Trust and R D Wilson from Nellore as Chairman of AP Telugu-Sanskrit Academy.
Meanwhile, the TDP leaders were given control over significant institutions such as the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Castes Cooperative Finance Corporation Ltd., AP State Social Welfare Board, Kamma Corporation, Brahmin Welfare Corporation, and the State Minimum Wages Board, among others.
This distribution has sparked debate over the fairness of power-sharing within the ruling alliance.
