Political career

He presented himself as a contender to succeed Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh after the latter's death in a 2009 helicopter accident.[4]

After the 2012 Delhi gang rape, Satyanarayana was heavily criticized for statements suggesting that women should not take public transport at night. "We also condemn the incident. But we should consider the circumstances. They should also think that they should not go in a private bus at night. We say we got freedom at midnight but doesn't mean we can roam around freely at midnight.[5]
