Vysya's need to grow politically
Virginia: Vysya community, though constitute a significant chunk of Andhra Pradesh population, is being under represented in state politics. The community, based on its population strength, should have a minimum of 21 legislators in the assembly, but there are only 7 MLAs from the community in the present Assembly, disclosed former MLA Ambika Krishna at a banquet held to mark the beginning of the three day NRIVA Global Convention held at Hyatt Regency Reston hotel in Virgina (USA) on Saturday.
