Babu’s Balanced TTD Board

CM Chandrababu has been around long enough to work out every single permutation and combination while making important decisions. This was evident in the case of the newly announced 24-member TTD board.

The new board has 12 members from Andhra Pradesh and 12 from other states, meaning a fairly equal distribution.

Of the 12 AP members, 6 are from TDP, 3 from JSP, and 2 from BJP. The remaining member can be considered neutral, as it’s the chairman, BR Naidu, himself.

Babu made sure that all the alliance parties received adequate representation on the board, in accordance with their holdings in the government. He covered all bases to ensure that there would be no backlash.

Pawan Kalyan’s good friend Anand Sai is one of the members on the list. This way, Pawan Kalyan must be happy to have one of his main allies on the TTD board.

CM Babu wasn’t looking to assert TDP dominance on the board just for the sake of it and kept things fairly straightforward.
