Srivatsavai Satyanarayana Varma, popularly known as S. V. S. N. Varma, is an Indian independent politician. He is a member of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).[1] Varma is a former member of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly from the Pithapuram constituency in East Godavari district as an Independent.[2][3][4]

Political career

[edit]

Varma embarked on his political journey with the TDP. During the 2009 Assembly elections, he entered the fray as an MLA candidate representing the party in Pithapuram. However, he faced defeat at the hands of Vanga Geetha from the Praja Rajyam Party.[5][6]

In the subsequent 2014 elections, Varma chose to contest as an independent MLA candidate after being denied a ticket by the TDP. Despite this setback, Varma emerged victorious, defeating YSRCP’s Pendem Dorababu, and securing his first term as an MLA with a 57 percent vote share.

In the 2019 Assembly elections, Varma once again vied for an MLA seat from Pithapuram. This time, the TDP extended him a ticket. Varma garnered 36.67 percent of the votes, while Dorababu secured 44.71 percent of the vote share.[7][8]
