India Today
After a purported 'objectionable' video of Andhra Pradesh minister Gorantla Madhav went viral on social media, Opposition leaders have demanded his suspension.
An Andhra Pradesh MP, Gorantla Madhav, has found himself in the middle of a controversy after a purported video of him on a video call with a woman went viral. An objectionable video of Yuvajana Shramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) MP Gorantla Madhav, representing the Hindupur constituency is making rounds on social media in which the minister is seen top naked.
After the video went viral, leaders of the Opposition party leaders have demanded Gorantla Madhav's suspension. The Opposition asked Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to take action against him and suspend him, demanding an enquiry.
"The behavior of YSRCP MPs, Ministers, former ministers, MLAs and other party leaders is very disgusting. The YCP leaders are acting so disorderly,"former MLA and senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Bonda Umamaheswara Rao said.
"When the video of Madhav sexually abusing a woman is going viral on social media, he is shamelessly denying the fact," Umamaheswara Rao said.

"Can another YSRCP MP Vijayasai now tweet not to take action against Mr Madhav?", the TDP leader asked.
"As per the election affidavit, cases under Section 376, Section 302 and Section 506 are pending against Gorantla Madhav. We demand YSRC Party President Jagan Mohan Reddy should tell the people what action he is initiating against Mr Gorantla Madhav," Umamaheswara Rao said.
