There is a big vacancy in the Telugu Desam Government. The post of CM's media advisor is lying vacant and though it's been more than a month since Parakala Prabhakar resigned, no replacement has been made by Chandrababu Naidu.
Parakala Prabhakar, a former BJP leader and husband of Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has resigned citing differences on June 19 this year. His position became untenable soon after the TDP and the BJP parted company and everyone knew his days were numbered. Chandrababu had no use for him and began ignoring him. After another key Brahmin personality, IYR Krishna Rao left the Brahmin Corporation, Parakala was under the watch. So, Parakala Prabhakar felt it was time he resigned.
Though it is more than a month, Chandrababu is unable to find a replacement for Parakala. Though several names are doing the rounds, Chandrababu is yet to take a decision. Former media incharge of Chandrababu Naidu, Vijayakumar and former IAS officer Lakshminarayana appear to be strong contenders for the post. Both are said to be lobbying hard for the post.
