Sonti Nagaraju Garu Takes Charge as Andhra Pradesh State OBC Congress Chairman

Sonti Nagaraju OBC chairman Congress

In the heart of Vijayawada, a significant chapter in the political journey of Sri Sonti Nagaraju Garu unfolded as he formally took oath as the Andhra Pradesh State OBC Congress Chairman of the Indian National Congress.

The occasion marked more than an organisational responsibility. It represented a new commitment to give a stronger voice to the aspirations, rights and dignity of Backward Classes across Andhra Pradesh.

Under the dynamic leadership of Smt. Y. S. Sharmila Reddy Ji, Hon’ble President of the Andhra Pradesh Pradesh Congress Committee, Sonti Nagaraju Garu accepted this responsibility with a clear message: the political empowerment of Backward Classes must translate into meaningful social and economic empowerment.

A Voice for the Backward Classes

For Sonti Nagaraju Garu, the OBC movement is not simply about political representation. It is about ensuring that every family has the opportunity to live with dignity, security and hope.

During his public life, he has worked on issues concerning housing, social justice and the rights of economically weaker communities. His efforts toward securing residential land and housing support for deserving BC, SC and ST families became an important chapter in his journey of grassroots engagement.

The creation of a government-recognised settlement associated with his name stands as a symbol of how public initiatives can create tangible change in people's lives.

These experiences have shaped his belief that politics must remain connected to the everyday struggles of ordinary people.

A New Responsibility, A Larger Mission

Taking charge as the Andhra Pradesh State OBC Congress Chairman now gives Sonti Nagaraju Garu a larger platform to carry this mission forward.

Andhra Pradesh is home to diverse communities, occupations and traditions. From farmers and fishermen to artisans, small entrepreneurs, workers and young people, the aspirations of the state's OBC communities are broad and evolving.

The responsibility ahead is therefore significant.

It calls for listening to communities at the grassroots, understanding their challenges, strengthening their political participation and ensuring that their concerns become part of the larger public policy conversation.

Sonti Nagaraju Garu enters this role with an emphasis on organisation, representation and empowerment.

Under the Leadership of Smt. Y. S. Sharmila Reddy Ji

The oath-taking ceremony also reflected the broader organisational vision of the Andhra Pradesh Congress.

Under the leadership of Smt. Y. S. Sharmila Reddy Ji, the Congress seeks to strengthen its connection with people across Andhra Pradesh and give greater space to communities whose voices deserve stronger representation.

For Sonti Nagaraju Garu, accepting this responsibility under her leadership is both an honour and a commitment.

Her leadership provides the political direction; his responsibility is to take that vision to the grassroots and work alongside communities across the state.

From Vijayawada to Every Corner of Andhra Pradesh

Vijayawada witnessed the beginning of this new chapter, but the real journey begins beyond the ceremony.

The coming days will be about travelling to communities, meeting people, understanding local issues and strengthening the organisational network of the OBC Congress across Andhra Pradesh.

The mission is simple but powerful:

Listen to the people.Stand with the people.Organise the people.Empower the people.

For Sonti Nagaraju Garu, this new responsibility is not merely a designation. It is a pledge to continue a journey that began with enterprise and gradually evolved into a larger mission of public service.

A Commitment to the Future

As he assumes the role of Andhra Pradesh State OBC Congress Chairman, Sonti Nagaraju Garu stands at an important point in his public journey.

His story reflects a transition—from a professional and entrepreneur, to a grassroots social voice, and now to a state-level political responsibility.

The road ahead will demand perseverance, organisation and continuous engagement with people.

But one principle remains at the centre of his journey:

“Political power must become a means to create social dignity, economic opportunity and a better future for every community.”

From the oath-taking ceremony in Vijayawada begins a new chapter.

A chapter of representation.A chapter of empowerment.A chapter of responsibility.

And for Sonti Nagaraju Garu, the journey continues—with the people, for the people and with a renewed commitment to building a stronger voice for the Backward Classes of Andhra Pradesh.

Jai Hind.Jai Congress.Jai OBC Unity.
