Over two hundred office bearers.... that's what the jumbo team of Chandrababu Naidu is. This has now become a butt of jokes within the TDP circles. Many party leaders are saying that it would be difficult even for Chandrabau Naidu to remember all the names. Remembering who holds what post too could be quite a task.
There are about 18 vice presidents and a similar number of secretaries. Such a huge number could actually reduce their importance, argue some TDP leaders. They feel that the TDP is already out of power and its leaders do not command much respect outside. With jumbo teams like this, it would be all the more difficult to get recognised, they argue. To carry all these leaders, we need an airbus, quipped a party leader.
Many leaders are also sore that Chandrababu Naidu has recognised their importance only after the party has gone out of power. When the TDP was in power, Chandrababu Naidu never bothered about us, said a prominent TDP leader, who was sidelined while the party was in power. 'He should have listened to us while in power. It would have saved him from the humiliation of defeat,' he said.
