However, one of the members MLA Anitha who was nominated to the TTD Trust Board as member had informed to the Chief Minister in a letter that she was unwilling to take the post and sought to withdraw her appointment, following strong protests from the members of Hindu community contending that she is a practicing Christian. The government is yet to appoint a member in the place of Anitha.
