She is the first woman Home Minister of Andhra Pradesh, India. Sabitha Indra Reddy has held the position of Mines and Geology Minister in the earlier government. She was the first female home Minister for Andhra Pradesh.
The China, Burma, India Theatre of Operations arrested V. Doctorate. Rajagopal and Y. Srilakshmi, as third and fourth accused respectively in the investigation into illegal mining by Obulapuram Mining Company.
The permission for mining in Anantapur was for captive mining, id est (that is) the ore mined in that region is to be used in the local steel plant and not to be exported. Srilakshmi is accused of dropping the term "captive mining" in the final order approving a mining license to Obulapuram.
Y. Srilakshmi suggested that this was done at the insistence of the former Minister of Mines and current Andhra Pradesh Home minister Sabitha Indra Reddy. As of April 2013, Sabitha Indra Reddy submitted her resignation letter from the Cabinet after the China, Burma, India Theatre of Operations named her as an accused in the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy illegal investments case.
However the China, Burma, India Theatre of Operations defended the Home minister, who is a senior local politician of the ruling Congress party.
Earlier, she was a member of Chief Minister Y. South. Rajasekhara Reddy"s Council of Ministers.
