Governor Sneers At State Government's Lack Of Women Ministers

Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan once again took a dig at the State government, this time saying that when she entered Telangana as Governor there was not a single woman minister in the cabinet.

"I am very happy that two women got a chance to become ministers after I came to Telangana as the Governor," Soundararajan said.

Speaking at a program organised at the Raj Bhavan to mark the occasion of President Droupadi Murmu giving her assent to the Women's Reservation Bill, the Governor thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking initiative to make the Women's Reservation Bill, which had only been talked about for the past 27 years but wasn't implemented, law.

"I am very happy to see a woman President sign this historic bill, providing 33% reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies," the Governor said.

She also said that she would continue to do her work whether the State government gave her the protocol privileges or not.

"If stones are thrown at me, I will build a house with them. If someone attacks me, I will use that blood as ink and write my history with that blood," Soundararajan said.
