One MLA who is most disappointed at not being “recognised” for his services in the YSRCP is Piler MLA Chintala Ramachandra Reddy. He is said to have been very unhappy at not being made a member of the TTD board. Chintala Ramachandra Reddy has been the traditional rival of the Nallari family and success or defeat, he has been fighting against the Nallari’s.
In fact, he had defeated Nallari Kishor Reddy, brother of former CM Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy. But, despite that he was not made a minister. It is already two-and-a-half years and he has no hopes of becoming a minister anymore. So, he tried for some corporation chief’s post. But, the YSRCP has taken a policy decision not to give a nomination post to the elected MLAs. So, he was expecting to be nominated as the board member of the TTD.
He met YS Jagan, Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, Vijaysai Reddy and Mithun Reddy. But when the appointments were made, his name was not found. He has become very disappointed. He is more upset that a much junior leader and a former ZPTC member Pokala Ashok Kumar was made the TTD board member ignoring his claims. He feels that Minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy must have had his hand in the appointment of Ashok Kumar.
