Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday suddenly issued appointment orders pertaining to 34 different corporations in the state, which were kept pending for the last three months.
It may be recalled that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and other senior leaders had been to New Delhi and discuss with the party high-command for more than a week with regard to the appointment of a new PCC president, expansion of the Cabinet and filling up of nominated posts.
After keeping all these appointments in pending, finally now it seems given clearance for the appointment of chairpersons to different corporations. Now the focus would now be on appointment of the new PCC president and cabinet expansion. The newly appointed chairpersons are expected to assume charge soon
The government had actually issued these orders on March 15 this year, but they were not made public nor the government announced the appointments, purportedly because of the model code of conduct being in vogue.
Some of the new chairmans are Nirmala Reddy, wife of former Sangareddy MLA Jaggareddy, as the Chairperson of TSIIC. Similarly, has appointed former Bhadrachalam MLA Podem Veeraiah as the chairman of the Forest Development Corporation and former MLA Eravatri Anil as the chairman of the Mining Corporation. All of them will continue in their positions for two years.
The appointments include Narsimha Reddy for the Urban Development Corporation, Anvesh Reddy for the Seeds Development Corporation, Kasula Balaraju for the Agro Industries Corporation, Eravarti Anil for the Mining Corporation and Janga Raghava Reddy for the Oil Seeds Corporation.
Seven GOMs 442, 443, 444, 445, 446, 447 and 448 were issued by Chief Secretary A Santhi Kumari. Interestingly, a list of the leaders appointed as chairpersons for different corporations was published in a few sections of the media during the Lok Sabha elections.
However, save for a few, the appointment order copies were not handed over to many leaders, nor were the appointments announced publicly by the government.
Among the 34 corporations, 13 chairpersons belong to the Reddy community. During the Lok Sabha elections, the leaders were assured that based on their performance in the constituencies, they would be given different posts.
