Telugu Mahila, the women’s wing of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), president V. Anitha has questioned Andhra Pradesh Tourism Minister R.K Roja as to why did she not react to the ‘rise in atrocities against women’ and the complaints about the free flow of liquor and easy availability of ganja in the State.
“No woman in the State will show sympathy to Ms. Roja even if she cries because she has failed to stand by the women during their tough times,” said Ms. Anitha while addressing the media at the TDP office on October 4 (Wednesday).
Ms. Anitha said that Ms. Roja had badly criticised her in the Assembly when the TDP was in power. “Ms. Roja has body-shamed several TDP women leaders during press conferences. Ms. Roja did not condemn when the YSRCP leaders made derogatory remarks against N. Bhuvaneswari [wife of TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu] in the Assembly,” said Ms. Anitha.
