Amaravati, Dec 11 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has reiterated that Andhra Pradesh is the only state in the country which has provided reservations for SC, ST, OBC, Minorities and Women in nominated posts and the same would be followed in Corporation Chairperson posts as well.
