The ruling YSR Congress had conveniently grabbed the opportunity on the floor of the Assembly to nail the TDP on women safety in the state.
The Andhra Pradesh Assembly debates on the measures to be taken by the government for the safety of women.
The women MLAs of the ruling party expressed concern over the increasing threat to the women, particularly in the light of the Disha case reported in Hyderabad recently.
Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharitha, MLAs Vidudala Rajani, R K Roja and others spoke at length where they listed several incidents of crime reported during the TDP government.
Roja was at her best to nail TDP and it's chief Chandrababu Naidu as she was suspended from the Assembly for one year during TDP regime.
Roja recalled how Thahsildar Vanajakshi was insulted by TDP MLA Chinthamaneni Prabhakar and how several women were sexually exploited by the TDP leaders in the name of call money.
Roja recalled that she was suspended for questioning the government which protected the TDP leaders from the sex racket.
The other women MLAs of the ruling party also grabbed the opportunity to expose TDP and Chandrababu Naidu on women issues and how Naidu protected his party leaders than the women.
Though Chandrababu Naidu tried to highlight some incidents of crime reported during the YSR Congress government, there appeared no takers to buy his argument.
With the ruling party members making fun and running commentary on TDP's failure to protect women, Chandrababu Naidu was forced to extend his party's support to the government in making new laws to protect women.
Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy expressed sympathies with the family of Hyderabad girls, Disha and congratulated the KCR government and Telangana police for killing the accused in encounter.
Jaganmohan Reddy said he looked at the Disha case as a father of two daughters and justified the encounter killing.
"I have a mother, sister, wife and two daughters. I was terrified to imagine if something happened to anyone of them in my family," Jaganmohan Reddy said.
The chief minister favoured the law to investigate the crime, prosecute the case and award punishment in just 21 working days.
"Justice should not be delayed in cases where women are victims," Jaganmohan Reddy said indicating a new law to come up in the state.
