No place for Balakrishna in TDP committees?

In the TDP Committees announced by AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu today, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s name was missing. Also missing names of several ministers like P. Narayana, Palle Ragunatha Reddy, Ravela Kishore Babu and Prattipati Pulla Rao etc, who are playing key roles in the government. Apparently, Chandrababu Naidu puts the new comers aside from these committees and gives importance to senior leaders of the party, probably to convey a message that he is not ignoring or neglecting them. But, he inducts Jupudi Prabhakar and Dokka Manikya Varaprasad into these committees as official spokespersons.

Chandrababu Naidu lets Harikrishna continue in the Polit Bureau as a member but left his brother Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is representing Hindupur Assembly constituency. Perhaps, Balakrishna was not inducted into any of these committees because he couldn’t spare his time for party affairs due to his busy film schedules.

Chandrababu Naidu also lets L Ramana to continue as party president of Telangana state. He appoints Kala Venkatrao as party president of AP state. Presidents of both states are from BC communities. Interestingly, Nara Lokesh has been made general secretary of national committee (polit bureau) along with P Ramulu, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy,Konakalla Narayana Garikapati Mohan Rao, and Revuri Prakash Reddy. This would help Nara Lokesh to take active and direct role in the party affairs.
