Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday appointed party loyalists as chairpersons to nine public sector undertakings.
This was the second batch of appointments for nominated posts that Mr Rao has appointed since 2014. Out of the nine appointments, four belong to Warangal district where party seniors were reportedly unhappy at not getting any government posts.
