Women Not Respected Under KCR's Rule: Telangana Leader

KCR's party leaders using derogatory language against me since I entered politics and began padayatra, said YS Sharmila.

Having decided to approach the Women's Commission against Chief Minister Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) chief YS Sharmila on Monday said that women are not respected under KCR's rule in the state.

Speaking to ANI, Ms Sharmila said, "It is evident that KCR fears Sharmila. Since my padayatra crossed the 3,000-km milestone, KCR's goons have been trying to foil this. Women are not respected in Telangana. Ruling party leaders using derogatory language against me since I entered politics and began padayatra."

"Just because we are taking it up does not mean you demean women to such an extent. We have decided today to go to the Women's Commission and give a complaint," she added.

On Sunday, Telangana Police detained Ms Sharmila for allegedly making inappropriate remarks against the Mahabubabad MLA and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Shankar Naik.
