Jana Sena Party president and Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, who recently underwent surgery due to ill health, is currently recovering and is expected to resume public engagements within a week to 10 days.
However, a woman government employee who has levelled allegations of sexual exploitation against Jana Sena Party ML from Railway Koduru Arava Sridhar, alleged that it was because of leaders like Sridhar that Pawan Kalyan’s health was affected.
The woman, who has been releasing videos on social media, alleged that Jana Sena leaders including Arava Sridhar and Tatamshetty Nagendra were responsible for developments that allegedly caused stress to Pawan Kalyan.
She questioned how Arava Sridhar continues to participate in official programmes wearing party insignia even before the findings of a three-member committee set up by Jana Sena to probe the allegations are made public.
She expressed suspicion that he may have already received a clean chit from the party.
The woman also alleged that she was physically attacked by Nagendra and warned of retaliation if such incidents recur. She asserted that she would not remain silent in the face of intimidation.
Further, she claimed that controversies involving party leaders and their alleged misconduct were causing reputational damage and mental stress to Pawan Kalyan, ultimately affecting his health. She alleged that internal betrayal by party members had left him distressed.
She also criticised symbolic gestures such as religious rituals performed for Pawan Kalyan’s recovery, stating that party leaders should instead adhere to his principles and maintain integrity.
