In a surprise turn, a GO was released from the state of Andhra Pradesh, announcing that Kondapalli Srinivas, the Minister for MSME, SERP, and NRI Empowerment and Relations, has been nominated as the President of AP NRT Society.
This decision has surprised many, as the TDP has strong NRI connections, with several individuals in the USA anticipating this position.
In such a case, how can a person already in a ministerial position be given this position? Notably, Kondapalli Srinivas himself is also an NRI.
However, highly reliable sources suggest there is a strategic reason behind this appointment.
The Alliance government reportedly plans to induct Konidela Nagababu as a minister, but this move would increase the number of ministers from the same community, raising concerns.
To balance this, Kondapalli has been appointed as AP NRT President, with plans to relieve him from his ministry shortly.
It is anticipated that Kondapalli will announce that he voluntarily chose the NRT role to focus on his core domain, leaving his AP Cabinet position as Minister.
Whether this speculation holds true will be revealed in the coming days.
