Her political career began with victory in 2009 in Prathipadu. In 2012, she resigned for Jagan and won the later by-election. She entered the board of Home Ministers after YSRCP formed the Government in the year 2019, but lost her place during cabinet reshuffle. She kept away from party for some time, but over the meeting with Jagan, Sucharitha stood strongly for YSRCP again.
In the recent elections, Sucharitha contested from Tadikonda, moving away from her traditional Prathipadu constituency. However, despite securing the seat, she was defeated in the elections. Since then, she has distanced herself from party activities and did not attend any of the events during Jagan’s recent visits to Guntur.
During a recent meeting with former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan, Sucharitha revealed that ongoing health issues had made it difficult for her to continue in politics. She confirmed that she would not be joining any other political party and suggested that her responsibilities in Tadikonda should be handed over to someone else.
Sucharitha’s political journey began in 2009 when she won the Prathipadu seat. After resigning in 2012 to support Jagan, she won the subsequent by-election. She served as Home Minister after YSRCP came to power in 2019 but lost her position in a cabinet reshuffle. Though she briefly stepped away from the party, Sucharitha reaffirmed her commitment to YSRCP following a meeting with Jagan.
The 2024 elections saw her shift from Prathipadu to Tadikonda, but despite receiving the seat, she failed to secure a victory. Since the election results, she has refrained from participating in any party activities, fueling speculation about a potential party change. With TDP’s influence growing in both Prathipadu and Tadikonda, there was even buzz around Sucharitha possibly joining Janasena, with reports suggesting that leaders from the party had approached her.
However, in her recent meeting with Jagan, Sucharitha made it clear that she was stepping away from politics, marking a significant turning point in her career.
