Political career

He served as the president of Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee.[12]

After Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy's death due to helicopter crash in 2009, Konijeti Rosaiah, Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy served as the chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh. At that time, Satyanarayana's name also came up in the campaign as the chief ministerial candidate.[6]

In 2015, Satyanarayana resigned from the Indian National Congress party and joined the YSR Congress Party‌ along with his family and supporters.[13] He represented third time MLA from Cheepurupalli constituency in 2019 and served as the Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development in the Government of Andhra Pradesh from 8 June 2019 to 7 April 2022.[14][15]
