The Piler Assembly constituency of the Annamayya district is significant, both politically and commercially. However, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has not won a single election in the region since 1994. Before the constituency reorganisation, parts of the original Vayalpadu constituency and Piler regions were combined to form the Piler Assembly constituency in 2009.
Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy, the last Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, contested from the Vayalpadu constituency when he joined politics in 1989. After the division of the state, Mr. Kiran and his brother Nallari Kishore Kumar Reddy formed their party, Jai Samaikyandhra Party in 2014, but Mr. Kishore was defeated in Piler by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in the subsequent elections.
Despite being defeated twice in direct elections, Mr. Kishore remained active as a key TDP functionary. The Nallari family enjoyed a good reputation across the constituency as Mr. Kiran oversaw a plethora of development projects, including roads, educational institutions, and Central institutes as the Chief Minister.
