Konda Surekha, the Minister of Forests, Environment and Endowments in the Congress government cried like a child while addressing the media on Monday at the Gandhi Bhavan due to abusive trolling by BRS activists.
Surekha said that she went to Medak district as the in-charge Minister. The BJP’s Medak MP, M. Raghunandan Rao, explained the problems of handloom workers and offered a handloom garland respectfully on her neck.
She said that she examined the handloom garland when Raghunandan offered it and found that it is a respectable yarn for weavers.
Surekha warned BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao and Working President KT Rama Rao and asked them to show the trolls to his sister and mother. She made it clear that she would not remain silent if trolling continued.
She said that leaders from all parties call her ‘Akka’ and her husband ‘Bava’, she said and added that people would revolt against BRS activists.
Surekha said that BRS leaders won with the votes of handloom workers and humiliated the child of Padmashali. Do you create trouble in families, she asked.
Former minister T Harish Rao emphasized that respecting women is everyone’s responsibility and that disrespectful behavior towards them will not be tolerated. He stated, “Neither BRS party nor I, personally, will overlook such actions.” Expressing concern over the discomfort caused to Konda Surekha, Harish added, “I share regret over the inconvenience caused to you.” He condemned inappropriate behavior on social media and urged everyone to act responsibly on these platforms.
