He said people irrespective of parties have faith and confidence in former chairperson of Simhachalam MANSAS trust boards Ashok Gajapati Raju. He said appointment of Sanchaita Gajapati Raju as chairperson of the twin boards has evoked widespread resentment among the people of three north Andhra districts.
