Andhra congress Committee senior leader and former mp Dharmapuri srinivas passes away.


Amaravati: Former president of andhra pradesh congress Committee Dharmapuri srinivas passed away today due to a heart attack. congress leaders have condoled his death. Dharmapuri srinivas was once a very influential leader in the Congress. In the 90s, if the congress party tried to make any important decisions at the national level, the consultative meeting would not take place without Dharmapuri Srinivas. To that extent, srinivas was the main leader of the party. He has also been one of the loyal leaders of the congress party.


Dharmapuri Srinivas' political journey began at a young age. Born in 1948, he joined the congress party at a young age and worked in the youth Congress. The reason for his political interest was Argul Rajaram, who was then Finance Minister. He wants to be uncle to Srinivas. srinivas got interested in politics only after seeing him.


Educated at Nizam College, Hyderabad, he first became an mla in 1989 by contesting the nizamabad Assembly Constituency. Although victory was possible in the first election, subsequent elections proved to be trials for him. However, due to his hard work, he has served as mla, minister, and mp twice. He was respected by the Chief Ministers when he was an mla and a minister. He tried hard to become the chief minister of united Andhra Pradesh. But due to many reasons including internal party conflict, he did not get the post of chief minister till the end. However, a regional party in andhra pradesh offered to give him the post of deputy chief minister.


But he rejected this demand and remained in the Congress. However, disgusted by the continued neglect, he eventually defected to the PRS. He left the party accusing the youth of not being given a chance. At that time various congress leaders were moving to different parties. Starting with Ghulam Nabi Azad, amarinder singh and other prominent leaders switched parties. Dharmapuri srinivas is one of those who switched parties. However, he rejoined the congress last year. He finally rejoined Congress last year. This morning he suddenly suffered a heart attack and died. Reason for Name: Dharmapuri srinivas does not mean that he is a native of the Dharmapuri district of tamil Nadu. There is a town called Dharmapuri near Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. So srinivas may have originated from this town.
