Paritala Ravindra family has well known among the people of
Ananthapur district since more than two decades. Paritala family influenced
four or five Assembly segments like Penugonda, Rapthadu, Dharmavaram and Kadiri
in every election.
NTR called Paritala Ravindra who hide in forests in 1994 and
offered TDP ticket to Ravi from Penugonda Assembly segment. Paritala political
life starts with NTR and his family dedicated with NTR till later was demised.
Paritala was elected again in 1999 and 2004 elections from same segment. He was
killed when YSR was CM in 2004 that forced Paritala wife Sunitha entered into
politics. In 2009, she was elected from Rapthadu followed by in 2014.
In 2019, Sunitha asked two Assembly tickets to his family
one for her from Rapthadu and another one (Kalyanadurgam) for his son Paritala
Sriram. CBN deny her request and finally she sacrificed her segment to his son.
Reportedly, CBN asked her to continue this term as MLA and postpone Sriram’s
entry to next term in 2024 elections. But she ignored CBN request and not digested
Sriram’s unsuccessful entry into politics. People have not agreed Paritala son
because of fear of violence might repeated in Ananthapur district. That puts an
end to Paritala family in the district.
