BCs get major chunk of posts in TDP's Andhra Pradesh office-bearers list

VIJAYAWADA: TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday released the list of 219 office-bearers of the TDP State committee. Once again, priority has been given to BCs and other weaker sections in the panel.

In tune with the party’s efforts to move closer to the weaker sections, over 61 per cent posts were given to them in the State committee. Of this, 41 per cent posts were given to the BCs. The party has provided 50 per cent representation to the sub-castes in the respective categories.

While 11 per cent posts were given to SCs, 3 per cent went to STs and 6 per cent to the minorities. Naidu, who had appointed former minister K Atchannaidu as the TDP State president, gave vice-president posts to 18 party leaders and general secretary posts to 16. There are over 108 State-level secretaries and treasurers.
