Putta Sudhakar Yadav, Chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, resigned from the post after a prolonged wait. About 10 out of the total 16 TTD members have already resigned. But Sudhakar Yadav stayed on saying he would wait for the government decision. There has been talk that the YCP government will bring in an ordinance to replace Yadav, who belongs to BC community.
It is decided already that new TTD Chairman would be former MP YV Subba Reddy, who is a close relative of CM Jaganmohan Reddy. There have been doubts raised over the social engineering claims of Jagan as a very important post of TTD Chairman is being given to a Reddy while the previous TDP government chose a BC candidate.
During the recent visit of Telangana CM KCR to Amaravati, no importance was given to weaker sections leaders or ministers. Only minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy, Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, YV Subba Reddy were present along with Jagan during talks with KCR. Now the TTD episode of replacing a BC with a Reddy is putting a lot of question marks on the social justice claims of Jagan and his team. In the recent Assembly also, YCP MLAs one after another claimed how Jagan gave top priority to SC, ST, BC and Minorities.
