HYDERABAD: BJP State president B Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday wanted Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to reveal the reason behind his decision to cancel Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan’s address before the commencement of the Budget session.“Was it a form of revenge for the Governor refusing to nominate a person with a criminal background (Koushik Reddy) as MLC or was it because she had asked the State government to follow the Constitution in electing the Chairman of the Legislative Council,” Sanjay asked.
Addressing the Women’s Day celebrations organised by BJP activists at Karmanghat, he felicitated women sanitation workers and distributed sarees to them. Sanjay also alleged that women in Telangana were suffering under the rule of TRS. “When Nirmal Municipal Vice-Chairman Sajid Khan had raped a minor girl promising her 2BHK house, it took police too long to arrest him. Last year, when a MIM leader had raped a woman at Chaderghat close to Home Minister Mahmood Ali’s residence, instead of putting him behind bars, the State government acted to protect that person. This shows the condition of women and children in the state,” he alleged.
