Visakhapatnam: Ex-MLA V Anitha fumes at Mahila Commission chief

Visakhapatnam: Former TDP MLA V Anitha alleged that Chairperson of Mahila Commission Vasireddy Padma is just a puppet in the hands of Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Speaking to media, Anitha said the Mahila Commission turned a deaf ear for women getting raped and the women farmers suffering in Amaravati. "It is disheartening to see women farmers being dragged and beaten up by the police.

Where did the Mahila Commission go at that time?," the former MLA questioned.

Anitha said that former Minister Ch Ayyanna Patrudu had no allegations so far but it's unfortunate that so many cases have been levelled against him by the YSRCP. She elaborated how Ayyanna Patrudu approach the Municipal Commissioner to question the removal of his grandfather's portrait from the commissioner's office.

"It is surprising to see Ayyanna Patrudu being booked against Nirbhaya Act for no reason. It is unfortunate that those who are indulged in rape and atrocities are going scotfree and the ones who question the lapses in the government are being booked in a series of cases," she pointed out.
