Sathupalli newly elected MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah is one of the two MLAs of the Telugu Desam Party in the newly formed Telangana Assembly. At the time of elections, Veeraiah resigned from the membership of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Board in view of the election guidelines.

In the recent elections, Veeraiah got re-elected and consequently the AP Government gave one more chance for him to serve on the TTD Board. In view of the latest appointment, he visited the hill shrine along with family members and offered puja at the temple. He met with the Executive Officer Singhal during the day. The temple authorities gave the MLAs’ family ‘Uttaradwara darsahanam’.

Speaking after his darshan, Veeraiah said he prayed for the well-being and prosperity of the people of his native Khammam district. The MLA also took part in the Mukkoti Ekadasi celebrations held by the TTD. He is going to officially take charge as the board member soon.

Veeraiah has been a loyal worker and trusted leader of the TDP and he has worked to strengthen the party in Khammam district. He is also a strong supporter of Khammam ex MP Nama Nageswara Rao who lost in the Khammam town segment in recent elections.
