Even before Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has constituted his Council of Ministers, the race for the prestigious post of chairman of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has hotted up with aspirants going all out to present their cases. Why several top leaders of YSRCP are throwing their hat in the ring for TTD Chairman Post?
The post is not only of a Cabinet rank but facilitates one holding it to deal directly with the top politicians of the country, constitutional heads, Union Ministers, and business magnates who have a spiritual bent of mind.
Though several names have been doing the rounds for the plum post since the election results were out, the fight is said to be mainly among YV Subba Reddy, Bhumana Karunakar Reddy and actor-turned-politician Mohan Babu.
Mohan Babu took to his twitter and clarified, ''I have been reading the news &getting calls that I am in the race for TTD Chairman post. My ambition was to see Shri.Jagan as the CM & worked towards it &contributed my bit. I came back to politics because of my belief in @ysjagan as people’s CM ¬ for any posts or nominations. And I request the media to stop speculating.''
