YSR Congress Party MLC Duvvada Srinivas is embroiled in a family feud that has escalated into a public spectacle, raising concerns within his party.
Despite public criticism, Srinivas is showing no signs of backing down. The situation reached a tipping point when he filed a police complaint, alleging harassment by his wife and children, a move that has not only drawn public disapproval but also created a headache for the YSR Congress Party.
The controversy took a dramatic turn when footage surfaced showing Srinivas wielding a pipe, seemingly to attack his wife. In a surprising twist, the MLC countered by filing a police case, accusing his wife and children of attempting to harm him.
This has led to widespread criticism, with many questioning his decision to engage in such a public dispute with his family. Vani, Srinivas’s wife, has publicly shared her side of the story, revealing that she married him out of love, against her parents’ wishes.
She claims that her decision to stand up to him is to prevent her children from enduring similar hardships. For the past two days, Vani and their eldest daughter, Haindavi, have been staging a protest outside Srinivas’s residence, refusing to leave until their grievances are addressed.
Tensions escalated when Srinivas emerged from his house to confront his wife and daughter, leading to a heated argument. At one point, he allegedly attempted to attack them with a pipe, a move that was thwarted by the police.
Undeterred, Srinivas later lodged a complaint at the local police station, claiming that his wife and daughter had broken into his home and attempted to kill him. He requested police protection and demanded the arrest of Vani and her associates.
The ongoing family dispute has become a talking point in Srikakulam, with the public closely following the developments. Many are dismayed by Srinivas’s actions, especially his decision to involve the police against his own family.
The incident has left a blemish on his public image and has raised concerns among YSR Congress leaders, who believe that Srinivas’s aggressive stance may have far-reaching consequences for the party.
