Amaravathi ceremony: Best opportunity for TDP officials
As said, there would only be five members to talk on the stage and rest others, including the Andhra Pradesh government officials are restricted from staying or talking on the stage. However, after PM leaves the occasion, basing on the requirement, there might be many officials who might get the opportunity to speak on the stage.
This is one such occasion, where the TDP officials get the chance of exposing themselves among the public, as it is a huge gathering and moreover even the oppositions are also attending the ceremony. Then how can TDP officials miss this great opportunity.
