In the 1930s, he became an active member of the Communist Party and joined the associated Raitu Coolie Sangham agricultural labour organization in 1939.[2][3] He helped organize peasant movements in Challapalli Estate in 1938 and 1950[3][2] and was, at one time, general secretary of the Andhra Provincial Agricultural Labourers Association.[4] He was elected as a member of the Madras Legislative Assembly for the Divi constituency in 1951[3][5][6] and of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly for the Nidumolu constituency in 1962 and 1978.[7][8]
