Career

Anjaiah, as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh was known for his accommodative politics; his cabinet of ministers was 72 member strong [http://www.hinduonnet.com/2004/03/26/stories/2004032604711300.htm] and the biggest in the history of Andhra Pradesh.

Anjaiah was insulted in public by Rajiv Gandhi, son of the then prime minister of India Indira Gandhi at the Hyderabad Airport. This was one of the incidents adverted to by N. T. Rama Rao, when he started Telugu Desam Party whose objective was to restore the self-respect ("Athma Gauravam") of Telugus [http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/Jan162005/sl5.asp] .

When Indira Gandhi replaced Anjaiah from the position of Chief Minister, he is believed to have remarked "I came by the grace of Madam and I am going under her orders; I don't know why I came... and why I am going." [http://www.funtrivia.com/submitquiz.cfm?quiz=112192]
