In the most recent GO, Minorities Welfare Department Secretary Kati Harshvardhan declared that the government hereby revokes G.O. Ms. No. 47 dated 21.10.2023, with immediate effect, after carefully weighing the High Court's observations and in the interest of upholding good governance, protecting Waqf properties, and guaranteeing the efficient operation of the Waqf Board.

TDP politician Shaik Abdul Aziz was named head of the andhra pradesh Waqf Board by the coalition government in September.
The tdp president for the nellore parliamentary constituency is Abdul Aziz, a former mayor of Nellore.
The previous government's Waqf Board may be dissolved, making room for the creation of a new board led by Abdul Aziz.
