Vatti is PCC deputy chief

Former Minister Vatti Vasanth Kumar is appointed as Vice President of residuary Andhra Pradesh State Congress Committee. While former whip R Padma Raju is elevated to be a chief spokesman of the APCC.
APCC new President N Raghuveera Reddy has issued orders in this regard, according to information. The Congress high command is said to have asked the new PCC chief to appoint them for the posts. Keeping general elections in view, the congress high command, which invited wrath for bifurcation and that led its leaders to switch loyalties, is playing it safe to rope in Reddy and Raju community leaders into the poll arena and appease the people of the region.
