Serving as the Chairman of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Trust Board is a prestigious position that many aspire to, as it involves overseeing the functioning of the board and serving the deity. Y. V. Subba Reddy had the rare opportunity to serve two consecutive terms as the TTD Chairman, showcasing his strong association with the post.
However, it’s believed that Subba Reddy has political ambitions beyond this role. He is actively involved in the YSRCP as the North Andhra regional coordinator and is known for his aggressive approach towards political opponents. His recent statement about contesting elections based on Chief Minister Jagan’s guidance has sparked interest among political circles, especially since the state is gearing up for elections.
Subba Reddy’s potential entry into electoral politics, particularly in Ongole, where he previously won as an MP in 2014, could shake up the local political landscape. Despite his prior victory, he wasn’t given the chance to contest in the 2019 polls, instead serving as TTD Chairman twice.
There’s speculation that if Subba Reddy is given the opportunity, he might contest from the Ongole seat again, potentially challenging the current MP, Magunta Srinivasula Reddy. The latter seems inclined to pave the way for his son Raghava Reddy to contest the MP elections.
The situation remains uncertain, sparking debates about the potential shifts and moves in Ongole’s political arena. It’s a waiting game to see how this unfolds and whether Subba Reddy will be granted the chance to contest from Ongole, potentially altering the political dynamics significantly.
