Sudhakara Rao, who listened to the socio-political issues discussed by those who came home for his father as a child, became interested in politics during his school days.
Sudhakara Rao joined the National Students Union of India (NSUI), an affiliate of the Congress party in Intermediate, as he could not concentrate on his studies in the daily political environment at home.

Sudhakara Rao, who came to the notice of the Congress party leaders while working as a student union leader, was appointed as the NSUI president of Madhira Mandal in 1988.
Sudhakara Rao’s interest in education is reflected in his ability to continue his studies without interruption as he struggles with many student issues as a student body leader.

The defeat as M.P.T.C.

Sudhakar Rao contests his wife Nagarani as a councilor in the 10th ward in the 2014 local body elections due to the reservation of the post of municipal chairman for an S.C. woman.

Madhira constituency Congress legislator and current CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has sought the appointment of a Telugu Desam Party councilor as chairman against the candidature of Sudhakara Rao’s wife for the post of chairperson.

The whip was issued to Congress party councilors who were adamant that Sudhakar’s wife should not be elected as chairperson anyway.
Without defying the party’s orders, Sudhakara Rao displayed his political acumen and made his wife cast her vote for the party candidate in favor of the whip issued by the party.
Sudhakara Rao was able to elect his wife Nagarani as the chairperson by turning the Congress party councilors to the opposition councilors in a manner that did not live up to Bhatti Vikramarka’s speculations. Sudhakara Rao displayed his political prowess throughout the chairman election episode.
On November 6, 2015, Sudhakara Rao along with his wife Naga Rani, 11 councilors, over 2,000 followers from his community in Madhira town, along with well-wishers from various communities joined the ruling TRS party at the invitation of State Roads Buildings and Women and Child Welfare Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao. .

Sudhakara Rao effectively handled the responsibilities assigned by the T.R.S party supremacy.

Sudhakara Rao implemented plans to lead the Madhira Municipality towards development by discussing his ideas with his wife Naga Rani, the Municipal Chairman, through his own vision.
Sudhakara Rao did not step anywhere in the power of his wife Naga Rani who was the Municipal Chairman.
