Radhakrishnan developed an interest in politics in his youth and joined the Students' Federation of India (SFI), affiliated with the CPI(M).
He held various leadership positions in different organizations such as the DYFI and served as National President of the Dalit Soshan Mukti Manch.
In college, Radhakrishnan participated in protests against government education policies and advocated for agricultural laborers.
He was active in organizations like the Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad and Total Literacy Movement to connect with the community.
Radhakrishnan's family's communist beliefs and the party's fight against social injustice inspired his own involvement.
In 2021, threats made to his official phone line led to the arrest of a person named Ajith related to funds meant for Scheduled Castes welfare.
In 2023, a incident of caste discrimination during a temple ceremony involving Radhakrishnan caused public outcry, leading to legal action against the priests involved.
The incident at the temple was later clarified to be a misunderstanding based on the temple's ritual practices.
Some criticized Radhakrishnan for misinterpreting the incident and stirring communal tension based on incomplete information.
