Former YCP leader and former Chairperson of AP State Women’s Commission Vasireddy Padma has filed a complaint against former YCP MP Gorantla Madhav and demanded to arrest him under POCSO Act. She has asked Vijayawada Police Commissioner Rajasekhar Babu to take action against Madhav, saying that Madhav is revealing the names of rape victims.
She deplored that Madhav’s comments towards rape victims are most inhumane and said that revealing the names of rape victims is immoral. That is why, she said that she has filed a complaint with Vijayawada CP against Madhav. She said that Madhav’s comments about rape victims are surprising to everyone.
Padma said that the details of rape victims are kept secret when an incident occurs. She expressed her anger that it was outraged Gorantla Madhav shamelessly revealed the names of rape victims without any knowledge. She said that it is cruel to speak about the names of the victims of that incident.
She said that it is not desirable for a former MP to speak indecent words about women and rape victims. She expressed wonder that some media outlets belonging to the YSRCP broadcast news supporting the comments made by Gorantla Madhav and still they did not remove such undesirable comments.
She lamented that this would expose what the party’s commitment towards women was. She said that she had also complained to the cyber crime authorities against Gorantla Madhav.
Meanwhile, referring to her future political plans after recently resigning from the YCP, Padma said that she would announce her political decision within another week. She said that she has good relations with all parties. Indicating her intention to join TDP or Jana Sena, she said that Vijayawada MP Kesineni Chinni (Sivanath) is her well wisher.
It may be recalled that she became angry with the YCP leadership after she was denied her claim to contest in recent elections and resigned as Women’s Commission’s Chairperson and since then remained silent, keeping away from political activity.
