It’s interesting to note that Prakasam Panthulu was the first Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh who after serving as the  CM of the Madras Presidency, subsequently became the first chief minister of the erstwhile Andhra state, created by the partition of Madras State along the linguistic lines in 1953.  After the State reorganization in 2014, Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated and the State of Telangana was formed.
