Jana Sena Party MLA Arava Sridhar on Monday stated that the issue involving him and Veena was a personal matter and should not be linked to the party. Speaking after appearing before an internal party committee, the MLA said the dispute did not concern Jana Sena’s political functioning or organisational decisions.
He maintained that personal matters should not be attributed to the party and urged restraint in drawing political conclusions from the episode.
Appearance Before Party Committee
Arava Sridhar confirmed that he attended the inquiry committee as directed by the party leadership. He said he presented his version of events before the committee, along with supporting material.
The MLA said the committee would submit its report to the party high command, following which a decision would be taken. He added that the process was entirely internal and being handled in line with party procedures.
The Jana Sena Party had earlier constituted a committee to look into the allegations involving the MLA, as reported in an earlier article on the internal review initiated by the party leadership.
Denial of Knowledge About Police Case
Addressing reports about a police case, Arava Sridhar said he was not aware of any case being registered against him. He stated that no official communication had been received by him in this regard.
The MLA added that even if cases were filed, he was prepared to face them in accordance with the law. He reiterated that he had confidence in legal procedures and would respond through appropriate forums if required.
Legal and Political Separation Emphasised
Arava Sridhar repeatedly underlined that the matter should be treated as a private dispute and not be projected as a political controversy. He said his cooperation with the party inquiry was part of his responsibility as an MLA, but the substance of the issue remained personal.
He also indicated that he had nothing further to add until the party committee completed its process and submitted its findings to the leadership.
Administrative and Party Implications
The developments place the focus on the Jana Sena Party’s internal disciplinary mechanisms and its approach to allegations involving elected representatives. The party leadership is expected to take a view after examining the committee’s report.
No formal decision or announcement has been made so far by the party regarding the outcome of the inquiry or any subsequent action.
