He was elected surpanch for Naidupeta Major Gram panchayat in the 1981 elections. During this tenure with keen interest in the developmental activities of all the developments have been positioned in that place. The Govt. awarded best surpanch of the state award in the year 1983 for the development evidenced. His deep attachment in public service then elected as General Secretary for APCC. He applied ticket for assembly election from the Tirupati Assembly constituency in the 1994 elections, the main reasons for selecting this place, his native constituency comes under reserved category, Tirupati is well placed with a key reputation and he has his social service activities of free drinking water supply to needy people and also free medical treatment with permanently established centre and also very much attached to his native place.
