Arudhra’s daughter Sailakshmi Chandra suffers from serious backbone problems, requiring significant medical attention and financial resources. Arudhra claimed that her troubles began when she attempted to sell her property to cover these expenses. This move reportedly led to harassment from local leaders of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).

Arudhra further stated that she had approached the court to facilitate the sale of her land in Amalapuram to meet her financial and medical needs. Despite her legal efforts, she faced continuous pressure and harassment, which significantly impacted her and her daughter’s well-being.

In response to Arudhra’s plight, CM Naidu expressed his commitment to ensuring justice and support for those wronged by the previous administration.
