Duvvada Srinivas Continues as MLC Despite YSRCP Suspension

December 18, 2025

Duvvada Srinivas currently serves as an MLC from Srikakulam district. Although the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has suspended him, it has not moved to have him removed from his legislative post. The reason is largely strategic—if the seat were vacated, it would still go to the ruling alliance, which already holds a majority in the Assembly, providing no political advantage to YSRCP. Consequently, Duvvada continues in his position as MLC.

Despite his suspension, Duvvada has continued to make public statements that suggest his ties with YSRCP remain intact. Party insiders say these remarks are creating fresh challenges for the ruling party. From the start, Duvvada has often targeted the Dharmana brothers, a pattern that dates back to his days in the Congress. Even after joining YSRCP, he frequently criticized both the Kinjirapu family and the Dharmana family.

While he enjoyed close ties with Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Duvvada’s political journey remained smooth. However, controversies in his personal life eventually led the YSRCP high command to suspend him. Duvvada has openly alleged that the Dharmana family, whom he claims has been consistently hostile toward him, played a key role in pushing him out of the party.

Despite not joining any other party, Duvvada continues to project himself as a YSRCP sympathizer, making his open criticism particularly damaging. His MLC post, granted by YSRCP, has also fueled the perception that the party has not fully severed ties with him. At the same time, his attacks on political rivals are directly embarrassing for YSRCP.

Political analysts note that if the party wants to clearly signal a break with Duvvada, it would need to formally approach the Legislative Council Chairman and seek action to remove him from his MLC position. Until then, the suspension remains largely symbolic, and Duvvada continues to exert influence in ways that challenge the party internally.
