TDP Faces Criticism Over Women's Safety
A leader from the YSRCP, Varudhu Kalyani, is very upset about how the TDP is handling women's safety.
She said the TDP has become a 'Telugu Dandupalyam Party' because they are not protecting women.
She talked about a bad incident where a woman worker was harassed by a personal assistant (PA) of Minister Sandhya Rani.
The woman reported it to the police, but nothing happened.
Instead, she was punished by being sent to a faraway place.
Kalyani wants the PA to be arrested and the minister to be removed from her job.
She also said that since the TDP and its coalition partners came to power, there have been many more crimes against women, like harassment, rape, and drug abuse.
She is upset that the chief minister and other leaders are not speaking up about this.
Varudhu Kalyani criticized TDP for turning into a 'Telugu Dandupalyam Party' due to women's safety issues.
She condemned the harassment of a woman employee by Minister Sandhya Rani’s PA and the lack of action.
The victim was transferred to a remote area instead of being protected.
Kalyani demanded the arrest of the PA and the removal of Minister Sandhya Rani.
She highlighted a rise in crimes against women, including rape and drug abuse, since the coalition came to power.
