YSRCP Women Wing president and MLC Varudu Kalyani has demanded the immediate arrest of Nagari MLA Gali Bhanuprakash Reddy for his alleged derogatory comments against former Minister R.K. Roja.
The National Commission for Women and the Andhra Pradesh Women’s Commission should initiate action against the MLA for ‘denigrating a woman’.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan and Home Minister V. Anitha should respond to the issue, and Mr. Bhanuprakash Reddy should be suspended from the TDP, Ms. Kalyani told media on Friday.
“The Red Book rule is continuing in the State. There is no security for women. The Nagari MLA’s remarks against Ms. Roja tell it all about the attitude of the TDP leaders towards women. TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu should suspend Mr. Bhanuprakash Reddy from the party,” she said.
Ms. Kalyani said that the MLA had resorted to ‘character assassination as the former Minister questioned corrupt practices in sand mining’.
Ms. Kalyani criticised the CM, Deputy CM and the Home Minister for their failure to respond to the issue.
YSRCP Women’s Wing district president Pedada Ramani Kumari, Corporator Sashikala, and YSRCP Women’s Wing leaders were present.
