Talari Rangaiah (born 3 June 1970) is an Indian politician who was elected to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India, from Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh in the 2019 Indian general election as a member of the YSR Congress Party.
He was earlier a project director in the District Rural Development Agency, or DRDA.
History
Rangaiah did double Post Graduation, pursuing a PhD in rural development. Throughout his career, he worked in various state government departments with different capacities and positions.

Achievements
Member of Parliament Talari Rangaiah has requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Ministry of Railways to introduce a Kisan Rail for transporting export-oriented horticulture produce from the state and other places in the country. In the absence of transportation facilities due to nationwide lockdown restrictions, horticulture farmers have been facing hardships to transport fruits, he said.
The MP in his letter mentioned that in the Anantapur district horticulture plantation is spread over 2.2 lakh hectares. About 52 lakh metric tonnes of papaya, pomegranate, mangoes, bananas and sweet lime are exported from the district.
The farmers normally are sending their produce to Delhi and other cities by road transport. If the Kisan Rail is introduced, the farmers can export their horticulture produce which will save time and money. Mostly the horticulture produce comes for harvesting during the months of October to May.
MP Rangaiah appealed to Prime Minister to sympathetically consider the request. Road transportation takes about 8 days to travel to Delhi while it takes 3 days via train route.
