It has been more than two months since the YSR Congress party under the leadership of Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power in Andhra Pradesh.
Naturally, all the political appointments made by the previous Telugu Desam Party government headed by N Chandrababu Naidu would become defunct.
Almost all the leaders who had been appointed as chairpersons for various corporations, commissions and boards by the Naidu government had resigned from the posts.
Even Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams trust board chairman Putta Sudhakar Yadav had no option but to resign though he tried to cling to his post for quite some time.
On Wednesday, Andhra Pradesh Mahila Commission chairperson Nannapaneni Rajakumari was perhaps the last person to relinquish her post.
She submitted her resignation letter to AP Governor Biswa Bhushan Harichandan along with a report of the commission’s functioning in the last three years.
She said she had done her best to do justice to the womenfolk and prevent atrocities against women.
“I stood by women in distress and came to their rescue. What I observed during my tenure is that if the women have the support of their families, they can resist the atrocities against them,” Nannapaneni said.
According to sources, YSRC official spokesperson Vasireddy Padma is most likely to be appointed as the new Mahila Commission chairperson soon.
