BRS women MLAs P Sabitha Indra Reddy, V Sunitha Laxma Reddy and Kova Lakshmi left for New Delhi to approach the NCW and NHRC over alleged police manhandling during a confrontation outside the Telangana Assembly. They are scheduled to meet officials on Friday.
BRS women legislators P Sabitha Indra Reddy, V Sunitha Laxma Reddy and Kova Lakshmi alleged that male police personnel manhandled them during Monday’s Assembly confrontation. They demanded an apology from Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and sought an opportunity to explain their grievances.
The BRS accused police of manhandling its women legislators during a confrontation at the Telangana Assembly gate on Monday. The party alleged that several leaders were injured, demanded action against those responsible and said it would complain to the Speaker.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has strongly criticised Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s claim of providing 24-hour power to farmers, alleging that only 10–12 hours of supply is being given. Former Minister Sunitha Laxma Reddy accused the Congress government of failing to deliver on promises including farm loan waivers, job creation, and unemployment allowance.
BRS MLA V. Sunitha Laxma Reddy urged the Telangana government to urgently resolve the irrigation water crisis in Medak and Narsapur constituencies, citing delayed release from Singur project and warning that thousands of acres of crops are at risk.
CM Revanth campaigned rigorously in Maharashtra but the Congress lost and similarly, the party scored a grand zero in Delhi Assembly elections, the BRS working president said
CM Revanth Reddy and Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka had made objectionable comments against us in the Assembly but the Women Commission did not respond or act, Sabithaindra Reddy pointed out.
The protests, which began on Wednesday evening itself in some parts of the State, were being staged in all district headquarters and mandal headquarters as well with cadre and leaders shouting slogans against Revanth Reddy on Thursday.
Sunitha Laxma Reddy resigned from the post 2 years before the end of her tenure as she will be contesting from Narsapur in the upcoming Telangana assembly elections.
