YSRCP nominates Mettu Govinda Reddy for the post
In a significant move, the YSR Congress Party government on Saturday nominated Mettu Govinda Reddy as chairperson of the Andhra Pradesh Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (APIIC), dropping Nagari MLA R.K. Roja from the post. When the YSRCP formed the government in 2019, it was widely expected that Ms. Roja would be inducted into the State cabinet, but after a long-drawn suspense, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had accommodated her as the APIIC chairperson. In the recent municipal elections, Ms. Roja’s leadership suffered a setback with surfacing of rebel candidates in several wards of Puttur and Nagari municipalities, though her sway prevailed at last. The appointment of Shanti Kumar, former municipal chief of Nagari, as chairperson of the State Eediga corporation last year, had come as a shock to the supporters of Ms. Roja.
