June 21, 2019 22:23

Andhra Pradesh government on Friday appointed former MP and YSRCP leader Y V Subba Reddy as chairman of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Trust Board that governs the shrine of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala.

Other members of the board would be appointed shortly, special chief secretary (Revenue-Endowments) Manmohan Singh said in an order.

Reddy, a close relative of chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, would take charge on Saturday.

TDP leader Putta Sudhakar Yadav submitted his resignation from the TTD chairmans post on Thursday.

Initially, Yadav was adamant on staying in the post despite the change in government.

After YSR Congress victory in the recent assembly elections, 10 members of the TTD board voluntarily quit their posts while another ceased to hold office as he lost the MLA election.

As such, only three members remained on the board, apart from three ex-officio members (government officials).
