CM to fulfil leaders’ dreams
Tags:
There is good news at last for state Congress leaders and prominent workers who had been eagerly awaiting nominations to various posts in state-owned public sector undertakings and institutions in the state. Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who had promised to fill all the vacant nominated posts before August 15 last, has finally decided to finish the appointments before the Dasara festival. The term of many chairmen and directors of the various PSUs and institutions, appointed by former chief minister late Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy during 2005-06, had ended in 2008 itself.
From then onwards the vacancies have been lying unfilled, except for a few. According to sources close to Mr Kiran Kumar Reddy, the Chief Minister has already obtained lists of recommendations from various Congress MPs and legislators, ministers, the PCC chief and even from the central Congress leaders. These leaders had recommended names of their followers for consideration of appointments to the non-official posts. The Chief Minister had entrusted the job of scrutinising and verifying of various names recommended by these leaders to a team of his confidants. The exercise came to end recently and the Chief Minister is likely to push through the appointments shortly.
The sources said that former minister Mandali Budda Prasad’s name has been finalised for the appointment as State Official Language Comm-ittee chairman, as the Chief Minister is keen to finalise this appointment soon as the state government-sponsored World Telugu Conference is would be held in Tirupati in December. Similarly PCC general secretary and Mr Reddy’s classmate Abid Rasool Khan is said to be the favourite for the Minorities Commission chairman’s post.
Another former minister, Nedurumalli Rajya Laxmi, is likely to take up the State Women Commission chairperson’s post. Sources said that as many as 350 posts in nearly 35 corporations and 15 other institutions are expected to be filled.
