Controversy
Before the Assembly election in April 2024, Madhavi allegedly tried to file a nomination on behalf of an imposter woman, with the same name as her opponent from YSR Congress, Vidadala Rajini. The attempt was foiled after police intervened following a kidnap complaint from the woman's family members. After a search, the police found Rajani, the namesake woman, and handed her to the family. A case of violation of model code of conduct was also filed against the TDP candidate by her opponents.[8]
