Bharatiya Janata Mahila Morcha(BJMM) national secretary Padmaja Menon, who arrived here on a tour of Visakhapatnam as part of ‘Pravas Yojana’ programme, visited various anganwadis and reviewed the implementation of programmes, being undertaken for the development of women and children, here on Wednesday.
Later, Ms. Menon addressed a media conference along with BJMM State president Nirmala Kishore, MLC and BJP State general secretary P.V.N. Madhav, at the BJP office. She said that a study was being conducted on the problems pertaining to women, children and transgenders. The condition of women under the YSR Congress Party rule in Andhra Pradesh has deteriorated and a ground-level report would be submitted to the Centre on it, she said.
She said that the exercise was already completed in Punjab. It would be done in 10 districts of Andhra Pradesh. Women run the family system and they were aware of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s welfare schemes being implemented for them. She said that while the Centre was implementing several welfare programmes for transgenders, the State government was not considerate towards them.
