Errabelli represents Palakurthi constituency of Jangaon district in the Telangana Legislative Assembly. The state of Telangana came into being when Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated and prior to that time, Rao had been elected on several occasions from Wardhannapet constituency to the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.

Errabelli was also briefly a member of the 14th Lok Sabha for the Warangal constituency. He contested a by-election for the seat in June 2008 when numerous members of the Bharat Rashtra Samiti(BRS)formerly Telangana Rashtra Samiti(TRS) resigned their seats in both the Parliament of India and the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly in protest. He defeated the sitting TRS politician, Dharavath Ravindra Naik, in the constituency.

In February 2016, Errabelli left the TDP in favour of the TRS. He was at that time leader of the TDP in the Assembly.[1]
