TDP has scant respect for women

Hyderabad, March 6: Reiterating that TDP government has scant respect for women, YSR Congress has said minister Ravela Kishore Babu should be dropped from the cabinet for his concocted version to save his son from the nefarious offence on a public road.

 ‘Even as the minister’s son was caught on camera misbehaving with a women, the minister tried to blame it on Leader of Opposition as is TDP wont, and we demand the minister should be dropped from the cabinet and let law take its own course,’ party Deputy Floor Leader U Kalpana told reporters here on Sunday.

 The misbehaviour was well recorded and the government has been trying to wriggle out of the situation by leveling baseless allegations and putting up concocted versions that the footage was morphed which shows the sick mind of TDP government and leaders.

 More baffling is the fact that the ruling party trying to shift the blame on our leader.

 ‘The other day Nandamuri Balakrishna, was seen talking very ill and lowly about women at a public function. The words could not be written or uttered. Chandrababu Naidu himself has passed remarks discriminating girl child and the TDP leaders have exhibited their true colours insulting women on many occasions,’ she said.

 The Call Money Sex racket has exposed the links of TDP leaders who were pushing gullible women into flesh trade and when the issue was raised by our MLA MP Roja, she was suspended for one year. A case was booked against our woman tribal leader for questioning the irregularities in bauxite mining.

 When the TDP leader had assaulted a woman MRO in public it was covered up and the Chief Minister directly involved only to tell the official that she was treading on a territory which was not hers. Such moves have emboldened the TDP leaders and cadre and we have seen the inaction of government in the Rishiteswari suicide case in Nagarjuna University.

 The government was harsh on the anganwadi and Asha workers who were fighting for their just demands and it has become a habit for the ruling party to blame the Leader of Opposition for everything that goes wrong for them.

 ‘We demand immediate action against the minister and an assurance from the government for women safety ahead of the International Women’s Day which would be observed on March 8,’ she said.
