BJP’s Bhupathi Raju Srinivasa Varma Set to Take Oath as Union Minister

Andhra Pradesh, June 4 – Bhupathi Raju Srinivasa Varma, a Member of Parliament (MP) from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Andhra Pradesh, is set to take oath as a Union Minister on Sunday evening. Elected from the Narsapuram constituency, Varma reportedly received a communication from the Prime Minister’s Office regarding his upcoming oath-taking ceremony.

Varma, who defeated Umbala Guduri of the YSR Congress Party by a margin of over 2.76 lakh votes, is one of the three BJP candidates elected from the state in the recent Lok Sabha elections. His emotional reaction upon receiving the BJP ticket from Narsapuram had gone viral, marking a significant moment in his three-decade-long political career.

State BJP chief and former Union Minister Daggubati Purandheshwari and C.M. Ramesh were the other winners from the BJP, both of whom are also contenders for Cabinet berths. The BJP, in alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party, won three out of six contested Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh.

Varma will be the third Union Minister from Andhra Pradesh, joining the ranks of the TDP’s K. Ram Mohan Naidu and Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, who will also be taking oath on Sunday evening.
