=== 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.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-25 |title=TDP Candidate Galla Madhavi's Dirty Politics Exposed |url=https://www.sakshipost.com/news/andhrapradesh/tdp-candidate-galla-madhavi-s-dirty-politics-exposed-292854 |access-date=2025-07-14 |website=Sakshi Post |language=en}}</ref>
