Andhra Pradesh Home Minister Condemns Former YSRCP MLA's Derogatory Remarks Against Kovur MLA

Andhra Pradesh Home Minister V. Anitha criticized former YSRCP MLA Nallapareddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy for derogatory remarks against Kovur MLA Vemireddi Prasanthi Reddy. Anitha accused YSRCP leaders of repeatedly making defamatory remarks against women and questioned the silence of YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on the matter.

Andhra Pradesh's Home Minister, V. Anitha, has strongly condemned the derogatory remarks made by former YSRCP MLA Nallapareddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy against Kovur MLA Vemireddi Prasanthi Reddy. Speaking at a press conference in Bobbilli, Vizianagaram district, Ms. Anitha called for the YSRCP leaders to show the controversial video to the female members in their families and ask if the remarks were acceptable [1].

Ms. Anitha accused the YSRCP leaders of repeatedly making defamatory remarks against women. She cited a previous incident where offensive comments were made against women from the Amaravati region during a debate aired on a channel owned by YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Instead of condemning these comments, YSRCP leader Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy reportedly supported them [1].

Ms. Anitha expressed her dismay that despite the YSRCP's poor showing in the last general election, its leaders have not learned any lessons. She questioned the silence of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, stating that his lack of condemnation would encourage his party members to make similar remarks against women [1].
