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.

Sharmila slams NDA govt. in Andhra Pradesh for ‘abandoning' Aadabidda Nidhi scheme
Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila slammed the NDA government in the State for 'abandoning' the promised 'Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme. 'Looks like the government has already done away with the scheme, which was included in the much-hyped Super Six promises,' she posted on X. Referring to Agriculture Minister K. Atchannaidu's statement that the government would have to sell Andhra Pradesh to implement the scheme, Ms. Sharmila said the TDP should have known this before including it in the Super Six promises. Under the scheme, the TDP had promised a monthly financial assistance of ₹1,500 to all eligible women aged between 18 and 59. She criticised the ruling party's claim on 'good governance' and alleged that women were being betrayed under the guise of welfare. She said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu owed an explanation to the people on why were women being taken for a ride by his government.

YSRCP alleges largest liquor scam in Andhra under Naidu govt
Amaravati, July 23 (PTI) YSRCP leader Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy on Wednesday accused the Andhra Pradesh government of orchestrating the 'country's largest-ever liquor scam" under Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Speaking to media after visiting his son and Rajampet MP Mithun Reddy in Rajamahendravaram central jail, he alleged that the TDP-led government has revived illicit liquor trade, turning Andhra Pradesh into 'Madhyandhra Pradesh" (alcoholic state) rife with corruption. 'The ruling coalition government is orchestrating the largest liquor scam in the country's history and plunging Andhra Pradesh into a state of corruption and mismanagement," said Ramachandra Reddy, addressing a press conference. The previous YSRCP government ensured that liquor sales were tightly regulated through government-run outlets, which led to a significant reduction in sales while increasing state revenue by Rs 25,000 crore annually, pointed out Ramachandra Reddy. He claimed that revenue from liquor sales during previous TDP regime, between 2014 to 2019, was only Rs 17,000 crore despite logging higher sales. The former minister alleged that under the present Naidu dispensation, liquor privatisation, retail price violations, door deliveries and belt shops (unlicensed liquor shos) have allegedly made a comeback. The YSRCP leader condemned the registration of what he termed as 'false" cases against party leaders, comparing the TDP-led government to Taliban rule. He alleged that Mithun Reddy is being denied legal jail amenities and warned of legal action if statutory facilities are not ensured for jailed representatives. Meanwhile, there was no immediate reaction from the ruling TDP. PTI MS STH ROH view comments First Published: July 23, 2025, 19:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
