From flying the fighter jets on the Indian borders to the corridors of the highest office in the country – the Rashtrapati Bhavan — and then taking the path to the Legislatures, his journey is as diverse as it can be.
Shedding the Indian Air Force (IAF) uniform and donning Khadi to emerge as a people’s representative, Nalamada Uttam Kumar Reddy is perhaps a rare combination of guts and valour and a solid soldier tuned to strict discipline yet sitting pretty in the hearts of lakhs of people.
This former IAF officer now represents the Huzurnagar constituency, which has been his bastion for long. With a soldier-like built he may intimidate his opposition but seems to be quite dearer to his constituency people. Or else, they wouldn’t have sent him to the State Legislature or Parliament seven times consecutively.
