Chandragiri MLA Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy could be the next Chairman of the TTD.
While Chevireddy has already been a member of the TTD trust board as an ex-officio member, he has been strongly lobbying for the post.
Chevi Reddy was recommended by Jeeyar Swamy for the prestigious and lucrative post.
He is learned to have told the chief minister that it has been a long-cherished dream to become the TTD chairman. Chevi Reddy is also a highly religious person.
Chevi Reddy has also offered to step down from the contest in the next assembly elections and has recommended his son for the Chandragiri seat.
“If I get at least one term as the TTD trust board chairman, it will be a big boon for me,” he reportedly told Jagan.
However, the chief minister has his own equations. He wants Chevireddy to take key responsibility for the party in Annamayya and Tirupati districts to fight the next elections.
He also wants YV Subbareddy to take care of the coming elections. But there are reports that people have suggested Jagan not to for another Reddy for the TTD.
So there is a chance that he might go for a Yadav who was on the Board earlier. The term of YV comes to an end this August. He has done it for two times and may not get the third time.
The new chief for the TTD will be in place by August end. Bhoomana Karunakar Reddy is also looking at the post it is reported.
