BRS MLC Appears Before NCW For Derogatory Remarks On Governor

BRS MLC Padi Kaushik Reddy appeared before the National Commission for Women (NCW) in New Delhi on Tuesday in connection with his alleged derogatory remarks against Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.

The NCW interrogated the MLC for over 40 minutes, and took his explanation in both oral and written formats in connection with the case.

Speaking on the occasion, Reddy said that he would disclose all details to the media in Hyderabad soon.

Reddy had allegedly made derogatory remarks against the Governor for not giving assent to the Bills sent to her for approval by the State government. He reportedly used foul language while commenting that the Governor was deliberately sitting on the Bills.

Akula Srivani, a BJP corporator of the GHMC, had then lodged a police complaint against the MLC on January 28. She urged the Saroornagar police to take action against Reddy for using abusive, vulgar and unparliamentary language against the Governor.

Taking suo motu notice of the foul language used by Reddy, the National Commission for Women (NCW) too asked him to appear before it in person.
