Amid uproar, Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker, N Kirankumar Reddy, today expunged remarks made by TDP member Annapurnamma, attributing ’motives’ to the state government’s decision to make Advisor to government on Public Affairs K V P Ramachandra Rao as the head of Advisory Committee on Public Safety and Security.
The Speaker also expunged the remarks made by State Women Development and Child Welfare Minister K Surekha in connection with the arrest of TDP legislator T V Rama Rao on a complaint of attempt to rape by two Kerala girls studying in the nursing college run by him.
The House was plunged into pandemonium when the TDP member made some derogatory remarks against the Chief Minister’s office in connection with the creation of the Committee on Public Safety and Security, with the treasury benches staging a noisy protest.
Denying the charge, Home Minister P Sabita Reddy maintained during the Question hour that she was given a ’’free hand’’ by the Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy in handling the home portfolio.
The role of the Committee was only advisory in nature, she added.
Ms Surekha also maintained that Dr Reddy had given a pride of place for women by including six of them in the State Cabinet and by giving important portfolios to them. Unable to digest this, the opposition was making baseless allegations against the Government, she claimed.
The Speaker put a full stop to wrangling over the arrest of Mr Rao, stating that the matter had been listed for discussion during the budget session.
