Four TDP leaders eyeing TTD post!

The selection of TTD chairperson is proving to be a big headache for AP chief minister Chandrababu Naidu as there are one too many aspirants.

While Chandrababu has assured former Tirupati MLA Chadalawada Krishna Murthy that he would be appointed TTD chief if he made way for M Venkata Ramana as the TDP MLA candidate. However, Venkata Ramana is reportedly trying everything at his command to thwart Murthy's chances.

Another key aspirants are former minister Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu, MPs Rayapati Sambasiva Rao and M.Murali Mohan.

Muddukrishnama Naidu has an eye on the post as the chairpersons for various corporations in the state may not be appointed till another two years. But, the party sources are saying that Chandrababu is not in favour of Gali as TTD chief. Further, Minister Bojjala Gopalakrishna Reddy is trying his level best to prevent Gali from getting the coveted post for fear of losing his primacy in the party organisation.

If the grapevines are to be believed, the chief minister initially planned to appoint a specified authority for the TTD. But, later he has decided to appoint new management board for TTD.
