Senior YSR Congress party MLAs Bhumana Karunakar Reddy and Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy are going to be part of the 25-member trust board of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is understood to have approved the list of TTD trust board members on Wednesday morning. The list is likely to be released anytime from now.
While Bhumana had served as TTD trust board chairman during Y S Rajasekhar Reddy regime, Chevireddy, who is also presently the Tirupati Urban Development Authority chairman, was in the TTD board in the past. Both of them will be in the board in the capacity of local MLAs.
According to sources, apart from Bhumana and Chevireddy, two other YSRC MLAs Kanna Babu and Dwarampudi Chandrasekhar Reddy were also appointed as the TTD members.
Others include: India Cements chairman V Srinivasan, My Home Group chairman Jupalli Rameshwar Rao, Subba Rao, Krishna Murthy and some others. From Telangana quota, apart from Rameshwar Rao, Jagan is learnt to have chosen Konda Raghava Reddy or Shiva Kumar (who registered YSR Congress party name with Election Commission).
Unlike in the past when the TTD trust board used to have 15 members, Jagan has decided to appoint as many as 25 members.

He has been under tremendous pressure from various quarters to be included in the trust board. Since he has to fill various nominated posts anyway, he reportedly decided to accommodate them in the trust board.
