As an MP of Warangal Srihari has to  seek either assembly or MLC seat  within six months .Srihari had lost  his election from Station Ghanpur successively  due tio bitter onslaught of TRS against the TRS..
 
Srihari told newsmen at the Secretariat that he would drag  his critics to court  and also involve Chandrababu Naidu as well as  he is head of TDP whose members were engaged in a bitter caste war against me  I have shown myself as a Byndla and not Madiga in both the school, college and also during the elections;. I have no reason to bluff as a Byndla I am entited for the SC status.
