Telangana Political Joint Action Committee chairman M Kodandaram on Wednesday clarified that he had never made any derogatory remarks against Heavy Industries Minister J Geetha Reddy.
Talking to reporters, Kodandaram alleged that a section of media distorted his statement that he made about Geetha Reddy's mother Eshwar Bai.
He said that he had praised Eshwar Bai's struggle for the cause of Telangana, and that he had asked Geetha Reddy to emulate her mother and join the statehood movement.
However, the statement was twisted by a vernacular newspaper and presented in a bad light, he claimed.
Earlier, Kodandaram was gheraod by the activists of Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi and other dalit organisations. They demanded that he tender an unconditional apology to Geetha Reddy and Dalits whose sentiments were hurt due to his statement.
Reacting to their demand, the JAC chairman said that he had never sought to make derogatory remarks against Geetha Reddy or Dalits, and blamed the media for misquoting him. He offered his apologies for his remarks inadvertently hurting sentiments. (INN)
Why should kodandaram apologise to Geetha? When so many students were comitting suicide, where was geetha madam? She never gave a single statement as sympathy for students & most of students comitting suicide were from dalit community only. What's her role in Telangana achievement till now? She is only interested in position & money from congress. Why is she so excited about satya sai funeral? How much black money deposited with satya sai trust? Why did she get supreme court notice for corruption? Becuase she is Dalit, all sin should be forgiven? There was even an attack on Jana reddy & Jaipal reddy when they spoke against Telangana, so why not Geeta Reddy. Even I am from dalit caste, but I don't encourage people who hide behind caste & do offense. Take eg: mayawati corruption, thrown out from last UP elections. This is not ambedkar expected from Dalit caste.....Ambedkar never supported corruption... Ambedkar always fought to bring justice & equality.. Ambedkar even sacrificed law minister... But What's geeta reddy doing?
