Women’s commission has no authority to issue notices, says Varla Ramaiah

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Polit Bureau member Varla Ramaiah has asserted that A.P. Women’s Commission Chairperson Vasireddy Padma “does not have the authority to issue notices” to Leader of the Opposition N. Chandrababu Naidu and former TDP MLA Bonda Umamaheswara Rao.

Addressing the media on Sunday, Mr. Ramaiah said, “Had Ms. Padma been really insulted and threatened, she should have immediately complained to the police for appropriate action.”

Police officials were present at that time at the Vijayawada General Hospital, and instead of complaining to them on the spot, Ms. Padma chose to issue suo motu notices with an ulterior motive, he alleged.
