This young Indian American could be the next desi success story in US politics after Bobby Jindal. Surya Yalamanchili is a 28-year-old youth belonging to a family from Andhra Pradesh which is settled in Ohio, United States. Last May, Surya won the Democratic primary to contest from the state’s 2nd Congressional District. If he wins the election on 2 November 2010, he may become America’s youngest Congressman. Earlier, Surya, Procter & Gamble’s youngest brand manager, was selected for the 2007 season of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice. Though he didn’t get too far in the reality TV show, Surya picked up a few tricks and says the stint was his “training for politics”. His campaign is branded ‘Chili’ and is featured under the tag ‘Vote Chili’ on Facebook, Twitter and his website votechili.com.
