Few months ago, there are rumours that he will shifting his loyalty to YSR Congress to get a MLC ticket and MLA ticket for his son in the next elections. But he refuted those rumours.

Balaram was in the Congress for a long time. He shot to fame after rescuing the then AICC chief Indira Gandhi from a public attack when she toured the area after a split in the Congress in 1977. Impressed by him, Indira fielded him from Addanki as Congress nominee in the 1978 elections, which marked his electoral debut. But later he joined TDP and very soon became a strongman of the party in the district.
