Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu's style has always been to carefully and quietly distribute nominated posts, granting them only to those deemed deserving.
However, TDP members are now eagerly awaiting these appointments, expecting to secure significant posts, similar to the lucrative positions Jagan gave to his supporters.
Many intellectuals who backed TDP over the past five years are hopeful for recognition through these roles.
Months into Chandrababu's return to power, these posts remain vacant.
A prominent media figure has his eyes on a Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam position, but no official announcement has been made yet.
Jana Sena leaders are also awaiting posts. However, Pawan Kalyan reportedly prefers centralized leadership, favoring newer faces like Durgesh over senior leaders such as Konatala for nominated positions.
Insiders suggest that Pawan doesn't want anyone from Jana Sena to hold significant influence other than himself.
Chandrababu is likely planning to release a list of nominations soon, balancing allocations between TDP, BJP, and Jana Sena, while considering social dynamics and key loyalists.
However, the recent statewide floods may have delayed the process by a month or two.
With little pressure from Jana Sena or BJP, and TDP remaining silent, the wait for these nominated posts continues.
