He served as Member of the Perak State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Hutan Melintang from March 2008 to May 2018. He is a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party of Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition.
Controversy
In May 2019, Kesavan was accused of sexual harassment by a woman who claimed to be his former aide in a police report she had lodged. However, Kesavan had denied the accusation and her allegation of being his former assistant. Kesavan had counter filed a police report against the woman and claimed she had taken advantage of himself and had tried to disrupt his family instead. On 16 July, Indrani Ramasamy who was the alleged PKR Sungai Siput treasurer and parliamentary research officer, filed a defamation suit against Kesavan.
