Members of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Mahila wing staged a protest against Deputy Chief Minister K. Narayana Swamy for his alleged comments against Nara Bhuvaneswari, wife of TDP national president N. Chandrabababu Naidu.

The Mahila wing members along with former MLA and TDP Visakhapatnam Parliamentary constituency president Palla Srinivasa Rao burnt the posters of Narayana Swamy. They also raised slogans against the Excise Minister and demanded apologies from him to Chandrababu Naidu’s family members.

Earlier, addressing a press conference, Mahila wing president V. Anitha said that being a Dalit, Mr. Swamy has failed to work for the welfare of the Dalits in the State. She alleged that the YSRCP leaders have tortured a number of Dalits including Srinivas, the accused in the ‘Kodi Kathi’ case, Dr. Sudhakar from Visakhapatnam and a few others, but never ever Mr. Swamy, who won the elections with the votes of Dalits has shown concern for them.

Ms. Anitha also alleged that to impress Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and to get a ticket in the elections, YSRCP leaders like Narayana Swamy are making comments against the family members of Chandrababu Naidu.

She also said that Ms. Bhuvaneswari was never into the politics and has been helping a number of people since many years through NTR Trust. However, the YSRCP leaders are criticising and hurting her, which is atrocious.

She also said criticised Jagan Mohan Reddy for taking helicopter ride for very short distance (From Visakhapatnam airport to Rushikonda) during his visit to Visakhapatnam. She said that the CM is frightened to face the public, as such he uses the aerial route whenever he visits any place in the State.
