VIJAYAWADA: Excise Minister Kollu Ravindra said that committees set up by NTR four decades ago remain the backbone of the party, and the appointment of new ones is being carried out in the same spirit. Leaders, he said, are being chosen based on field-level opinions, suggestions, and advice.

MLAs Kagita Krishna Prasad, Venigandla Ramu, Bode Prasad, Varla Kumar Raja, MLC Panchumarthi Anuradha, former Deputy Speaker Veda Vyas, Kambhampati Rammohan Rao, Warehouse Corporation Chairman Ravi Venkateswara Rao and other senior leaders attended the meeting.
