Rao was elected on three occasions to the Legislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh as a Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate from Sathupalli constituency, in 1985, 1994 and 1999.
In the 2009 elections, Rao was elected from the Khammam constituency. He contested that seat again in the elections of 2014 and lost. On that latter occasion, the election was for the Telangana Legislative Assembly due to the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
