  • An answer to Chandrababu’s arrogance
  • A brave woman to have fought and won
  • A political sensation

Hyderabad:MLA Roja’s name is the talk of the town of the assembly. She is being congratulated for bravely fighting against the conspiracies plotted by CM Chandrababu Naidu and his close ally minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu. President of YSR Congress Party YS Jagan acclaimed her for her fight for justice.

Struggle under the direction of YS Jagan

RK Roja who is playing a crucial role in the state’s politics as YSRCP woman division’s president got elected from Nagari constituency of Chittoor in the recent elections. She earned the name ‘Fire Brand’ in AP assembly. She is always a step ahead in questioning the Government for the people under the leadership of leader of opposition YS Jagan. Mobilized by inspiration following the steps of YS Jagan, YSRCP MLAs are holding TDP Government under constant watch. Not being able digest this, the Government resorted to conspiring against Roja.

Revengeful conspiracy

While the assembly session was going on, Yanamala suddenly proposed for one-year suspension of MLA Roja and this was followed by speaker Kodela Siva Prasad’s accepting it. They did not even announce why the suspension was being done or under which rule. When Roja reached the assembly to know why she was suspended, she was insulted by not allowing into the house. Which rule was applied for suspension was not known until the courts intervened. Democracy supporters still remember the egotistic statements of Yanamala saying “The house is supreme”.

Fight with determination

YSRCP stood for MLA Roja in the assembly. Leader of opposition YS Jagan not only demanded the Government to show the reason for her suspension, but also wrote a public letter to the speaker. As there was no response to it, Roja resorted to fight for justice, as per YS Jagan’s suggestion. She consulted with ‘lady fire brand’ lawyer Indira Jaising (Read: Special story on her - Who is this Lady Advocate? at http://www.ysrcongress.com/en/news/special_stories/who-is-this-lady-advocate.html) and got into fight for justice. At first the High Court did not serve her justice, as her petition was not accepted due to the Government’s influence. Then she approached the Supreme Court, which ordered that High Court to take it up. Assembly office is stating that the suspension was done according to rule 340. But this rule allows suspension only for a session but not a whole year. MLA Roja fought with the same point and won. She gave a copy o the court’s orders to the assembly secretary and met her party’s president YS Jagan, who congratulated her on her victory.
