Jana Sena Party president and Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan’s warning to home minister Vangalapudi Anitha over her failure to control the crimes and her inept handling of the police department has obviously given a sharp weapon to the opposition YSR Congress party.
Within hours of his comments going viral on social media, YSRCP Women's Wing president and MLC Varudu Kalyani voiced serious concern about the deteriorating law and order situation in the state emphasizing that women’s safety has reached an alarming low.
Kalyani highlighted that incidents of violence and assaults against women have become a daily occurrence, underscoring the failure of Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s administration to ensure public safety.
She pointed out that even Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan had acknowledged the decline in safety during his public meetings.
She criticized the ruling coalition for its consistent inability to protect women over the past five months and demanded the resignation of the Chief Minister and Home Minister Anitha.
The MLC further slammed Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, asking what concrete measures he had implemented to address the increasing injustice faced by women.
She cited specific examples, including an assault by a TDP leader in Pithapuram and other incidents that demonstrated negligence toward women’s safety.
Kalyani also condemned the police department for failing in their duty to protect the public. Additionally, she accused the government of using the Red Book to silence YSRCP supporters who raised their voices on social media.
She called for the immediate reactivation of the Disha App and the full implementation of the Disha Act initiatives to enhance safety protocols.
