== Career ==
Bonela Vijaya Chandra was elected as a MLA for the first time from Parvathipuram Assembly constituency in the [[2024 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election]]. He polled 83,905 votes and defeated his nearest rival and former MLA, [[Alajangi Jogarao]] of the YSR Congress Party, by a margin of 24,414 votes.

He played a pivotal role in securing a stop for the Visakhapatnam-Durg Vande Bharat Express at Parvathipuram. Initially, the train was set to halt only at Vizianagaram within Andhra Pradesh. Responding to local concerns, Vijaya Chandra met with Union Minister of State for Railways, V. Somanna, and the Railway Board, ensuring the addition of the halt. This development is expected to spur economic activity in Parvathipuram and benefit both local traders and devotees traveling to nearby temples.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2024-09-14 |title=Halt Vizag-Durg Vande Bharat express at Parvatipuram, MLA urges Minister |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/mla-seeks-halt-at-parvatipuram-for-vizag-durg-vande-bharat-express/article68642213.ece |access-date=2024-09-30 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
