He has been elected 6 terms to Assembly, out of 5 times to the Assembly from the Tadipatri constituency. He is a part of the YS Rajasekhar Reddy cabinet during 2004-2009 as Minister for Panchayat Raj and endowment departments. But then he was denied an entry into the cabinet in 2009 when YSR won for the second time and also later in Kiran Kumar Reddy’s cabinet in 2010.
