From a humble police constable to a first time MP from Telangana
and now at the centre stage as a Union Minister of State, Porika Balram Naik
has come a long way and is being rewarded for his discipline and loyalty to the
Congress High Command. One of the few MPs who did not go against the views of
the Congress on the contentious Telangana statehood demand, 48-year-old Naik
always stood by the party and today he is the envy of many of his colleagues.
He refused to join his colleagues from Telangana region when
they decided to send their resignations to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar in
protest against the non-decision on the statehood demand. This isolated him from others fighting for a separate
state, but his discipline and loyalty brought him at the centrestage of
politics with his induction into the Union Council of Ministers. Born to
a poor family in Mulugu mandal of Warangal district, the epicenter of Telangana
agitation, Naik began his his career as a police constable in his native
district.
After serving the
force for a few years, he joined the Telecom Department where he worked for a
brief period only to quit and launch his own real estate business. Going on to
build a real estate empire, Naik joined Congress on the eve of 2009 general
elections and was elected to Lok Sabha from Mahbubabad (ST) constituency by
defeating retired IPS officer D T Naik of erstwhile Praja Rajyam Party. A
graduate, Balram Naik brands himself as a "social worker" and is a member
of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour. Currently, he is also the
all-India president of Banjara Sevak Samaj.
