Hyderabad: Few official posts or political nominations in the Telugu states command the respect and sense of privilege as being a member of board for the holy temple of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam. This year, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has recommended two names, while Union home minister and BJP national president Amit Shah has recommended one name for consideration for TTD member posts. Mr Reddy has also decided to offer two members for the TTD board to other states, with both Karnataka and Maharashtra getting one member each. Meanwhile, the AP Chief Minister has decided to nominate YSRC leaders including Velagapalli Varaprasada Rao, MLA, Gudur, who formerly represented the Tirupati Lok Sabha constituency, Uppalapati Venkata Ramanamurthy Raju, MLA, Yelamanchili and Dwarampudi Chandrasekhar Reddy, MLA, Kakinada, as members to the TTD board.
