Political career
[edit]Devineni Avinash's father, Nehru, founded the United Students Organisation (USO) in Vijayawada.[1][citation needed] He served as a cabinet minister under N. T. Rama Rao and as an MLA from Kankipadu mandal for five terms (1983, 1985, 1989, 1994 and 2004).[2]
Avinash began his political career as president of the United Students Organization. He campaigned for Nehru, who contested Andhra Pradesh from Kankipadu mandal in Krishna district.[2] He was also a Student JAC Convener for the Samaikyandhra Movement, and his efforts to reach approximately 100,000 students garnered state attention.
He participated in the Samaikyandhra Movement Jala Deeksha and student rallies.[3][4][5] Following the division of the state, he advocated for Special Status for Andhra Pradesh, including agitations and bike rallies. Avinash served as the Andhra Pradesh State Youth Congress President and Vijayawada Parliamentary Congress President during his tenure with the the Indian National Congress.
Devineni contested the Vijayawada Lok Sabha Elections in 2014 as a candidate for the the Indian National Congress party,[6][2][7] but was defeated by Kesineni Srinivas of the Telugu Desam Party. In 2016, he and his father joined the Telugu Desam Party. N. Chandrababu Naidu, then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, appointed him as the State President of Telugu Yuvata, the youth wing of the the Telugu Desam Party.
Avinash again contested in the 2019 Gudivada (Assembly constituency), Andhra Pradesh, against Kodali Nani of the YSR Congress Party, which won the 2019 General Elections, including the Gudivada (Assembly constituency).[8][9]
In November 2019, Avinash resigned from the the Telugu Desam Party and joined the YSR Congress Party.[10][11][12][13] He is currently serving as Vijayawada East (Assembly constituency) in-charge for the YSR Congress Party under the leadership of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy.[14]
