YSRCP MLC demands arrest of TDP MLA for ‘derogatory' comments
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.

YSRCP accuses Andhra govt of large-scale land irregularities in Vizag
Visakhapatnam, Jul 27 (PTI) YSRCP leader and former minister Gudivada Amarnath on Sunday accused the TDP-led coalition government of 'large-scale land irregularities" and said it was behaving like a 'real estate agency" while allotting public lands to associates, firms and realtors at 'unjustifiably" low prices here. He alleged that the state government diverted prime land to newly incorporated firms with no credentials, undermining previous IT development plans initiated under the YSRCP regime. 'The TDP-led coalition government has committed massive irregularities in land allocations in Visakhapatnam since the government was formed," Amarnath said while addressing a press conference. He alleged that private companies received valuable land at rates as low as Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore per acre, calling it a 'quid pro quo'. He noted the land deals had created no IT jobs for Andhra's youth. The former minister further alleged that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh were directly overseeing these land deals, and that public land was being 'looted" to benefit their associates. The YSRCP leader linked Naidu's frequent visits to Singapore to alleged corruption and old ties with tainted individuals there. Amarnath said that the YSRCP would launch a mass movement against the land scam and hold the Naidu-led coalition government accountable for allegedly diverting public wealth for private gains. Meanwhile, there was no immediate reaction from the ruling TDP. PTI MS GDK KH view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 23:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
