Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu today announced a 96 member Telangana state Telugu Desam Party committee here today. Chandrababu also expressed hope that Lokesh would effectively carry out the new responsibility. But, a major section is reportedly in favour of the Naidu scion given his due, as “he has demonstrated his organisational capacity” in the party’s run-up to the elections.
