Sabitha Indra Reddy accuses Revanth Reddy of disrespecting women

HYDERABAD: BRS MLA Sabitha Indra Reddy expressed her anger, accusing Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of speaking disrespectfully in the Telangana Assembly.

Following the discussion on the Appropriation Bill, the Assembly was adjourned until the next day. In protest against the Chief Miniter's behaviour, BRS members moved from the Assembly lobby to the media point, where Sabitha Indra Reddy broke down in tears.

Speaking to the media, Sabitha Indra Reddy criticised the Chief Minister for mentioning her name in the Assembly but not allowing her to speak. She accused him of running away like a thief and disrespecting the members. She questioned his right to criticise her for switching parties, stating that she was expelled, not that she left voluntarily. She pointed out that many people switch parties in the country.

Sabitha Indra Reddy alleged that Revanth Reddy has no respect for women, citing his comment that trusting sisters would lead to Jubilee Bus Stand. She claimed that the Chief Minister told KTR the sisters behind him would also ruin him. She accused the Chief Minister of speaking whatever came to his mind, disrespecting women from Sonia Gandhi to herself.

She emphasised that she and Sunitha had served the Congress party long before Revanth Reddy joined. She stated that Revanth accused them of betraying the party, but her only mistake was inviting him to join Congress. She demanded an unconditional apology from Revanth Reddy, stating that the insult was not just to her and Sunitha but to all women.

Meanwhile, Sunitha Lakshma Reddy also condemned the Chief Minister and Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka's remarks, comparing the insult to Draupadi's humiliation in a full assembly. She demanded apologies from both the CM and Deputy CM for their hurtful comments towards women. She criticised Assembly Speaker Gadam Prasad Kumar for not allowing them to speak and for silencing their voices by not providing a microphone.

Sunitha Lakshma Reddy questioned those accusing them of switching parties, asking them to reflect on their party affiliations. She reminded them they had expelled her, Sabitha, and DK Aruna from the party. She pointed out that Congress does not respect women, questioning the party's treatment of Seethakka and her commitment to the party.
