In his 30 year-long political careers he had been a cabinet minister in both n. t. rama rao and N. chandra babu Naidu governments and had served various ministries like Home Affairs, health, Irrigation, Panchayat raj and Rural Development, etc.
Recently he had been in controversy after Andhra Pradesh Police and Legislative Assembly officials seized Assembly furniture diverted by Kodela Siva prasad Rao to gowtam Hero showroom owned by Sivaprasad Rao's son Sivarama Krishna. Before a few days, he was hospitalized after cardiac issues and was said to be stable, but now he has passed away. The renowned politician took his last breath a few minutes back. On behalf of Team india Herald, We pray for his departed soul to Rest In Peace!
