Sexual allegations against a sitting Jana Sena Party MLA have triggered a major political controversy in Andhra Pradesh. A video allegedly involving Arava Sreedhar, MLA from the Railway Koduru constituency, surfaced online after being shared by the YSR Congress Party.
The video has sparked widespread discussion across the state, drawing sharp political reactions. The YSRCP posted a detailed statement on its official X account, accusing the MLA of sexually exploiting a female government employee over an extended period.
According to the YSRCP claim, the woman was allegedly harassed after an initial social media acquaintance. The party alleged intimidation, coercion, and repeated threats, including harm to her child. The statement further claimed prolonged abuse, false promises of marriage, and forced abortion.
These allegations have caused serious embarrassment for the Jana Sena Party and its leader, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. The controversy has put pressure on the party leadership to respond swiftly and decisively to protect its public image.
Calls are growing for immediate action against Arava Sreedhar, including suspension from the party. Political observers point to past instances where swift disciplinary action was taken against leaders facing similar allegations.
Earlier, TDP MLA Koneti Adimulam was suspended following comparable accusations, which was seen as a strong signal from the party leadership. In contrast, YSR Congress has faced criticism in the past for alleged inaction against its leaders.
Public anger often rises when parties are perceived to ignore serious complaints. This case has once again raised questions about accountability and internal discipline within political parties.
Arava Sreedhar won the 2024 Assembly election from the Ralway Kodur constituency representing the Jana Sena Party. He secured 78,594 votes and defeated three-time MLA Koramutla Srinivasulu of the YSR Congress Party by a margin of 11,101 votes.
