For srinivas, who was in charge of the congress when it regained power in 2004 in undivided andhra pradesh, it was a homecoming.
He twice served as the chairman of the andhra pradesh congress Committee (APCC) and was a minister in Rajasekhara Reddy's government. After the telangana rashtra samithi (TRS) established the first administration in the newly created telangana state in 2014, srinivas had shifted his allegiance to that party. He was given the position of special advisor to the government by chief minister K. chandrasekhar Rao, who also appointed him to the rajya sabha in 2016. However, the top nizamabad leader was accused of anti-party activities on the eve of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
