Ambati Rayudu enters Andhra Pradesh politics. Ambati Rayudu, a 37-year-old former Indian cricketer, proclaimed the beginning of his second innings in Andhra Pradesh politics.
Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu officially declared the start of his second innings in Andhra Pradesh politics nearly one month after hanging up his boots.
The 37-year-old cricketer, who played his last match in the Indian Premier League finals on May 29 for the champion Chennai Super Kings, has been touring his home district of Guntur to understand the issues confronting the people at the grassroots level.
“I shall soon enter politics in Andhra Pradesh to serve the people. Before that, I have decided to visit different parts of the district to know the people’s pulse and understand their problems,” Rayudu told local reporters during a visit to the village of Mutluru in the Vatticherukuru block of the district on Wednesday.
He stated that he was touring the rural areas of Guntur to determine the people’s requirements and what he could do to meet them. “I shall come out with a concrete action plan on how to go about in politics and which platform I would choose,” he said.
The cricketer refuted rumors that he was considering running for Lok Sabha in 2024 from either the Guntur or Machilipatnam parliamentary constituencies.

Previously, Rayudu visited the Mulankareshwari temple in the village of Aminabad and offered special devotion. Similarly, he prayed at Phiranganapuram’s Sai Baba Temple and Bala Yesu Church.
In the Vatticherukuru block village of Mutlur, the cricketer interacted with schoolchildren and shared lunch with them. He became aware of the issues plaguing students in institutions.
Though Rayudu is yet to spell out his stand on which party he will be joining, his comments on social media led to the speculation that he might join the YSR Congress party. On April 19, he tweeted praise on Jagan for his speech at Naupada in the Srikakulam district. He tweeted:
“Great speech.. our chief minister @ysjagan garu.. everyone in the state has complete belief in you, sir.”

After the CSK won the IPL-2023 tournament, Rayudu and CSK management conferred with the chief minister. He tweeted:
“Had a great meeting with honourable CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy garu along with respected Rupa mam and CSK management to discuss the development of world class sports infrastructure and education for the underprivileged. Govt is developing a robust program for the youth of our state.”

Indirectly, he criticized opposition Telugu Desam Party leader N Chandrababu Naidu, stating that the construction of a building for an Information Technology company did not constitute genuine development.

It was pointed out to Rayudu during his Wednesday visit to the Guntur district that he had previously met the chief minister, but he had not discussed politics with him. “I shall decide on which platform I would choose only after touring every village and town in Guntur,” he said.
