TDP MLA Koneti Adimulam Suspended Amid Rape Allegations: A Family’s Defense and Political Allegations
In a dramatic turn of events, Satyavedu TDP MLA Koneti Adimulam’s political career has been upended in less than 12 hours, following serious allegations of rape and physical assault. The rapid sequence of events began with an unnamed woman, who claims to be a follower of Adimulam, publicly accusing him of rape. She supported her allegations with videos released to mainstream media.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) responded promptly, suspending Adimulam from the party while indicating that further disciplinary actions may follow as investigations progress. The party’s swift action underscores the seriousness with which it is treating the allegations.
In stark contrast, Adimulam’s family has vehemently denied the charges and suggested a political conspiracy behind the accusations. Adimulam’s daughters, Prabha and Shobha, along with his son-in-law Kennedy, held a press conference asserting their belief that the allegations are fabricated. They accuse the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YCP) of orchestrating a smear campaign against Adimulam.
“Our suspicion is that YCP leaders are behind this conspiracy. The videos released to tarnish Adimulam’s image are fake. He is a respected individual, and this woman is merely a pawn in a larger political scheme. We firmly believe that Adimulam will be exonerated as this attempt to discredit him is baseless,” the family stated.
As the situation unfolds, TDP is exploring more severe measures to address the allegations, while Adimulam’s family maintains his innocence and denounces what they perceive as a politically motivated attack. The resolution of this high-profile case will likely have significant implications for both Adimulam’s career and the political dynamics in the region.
