Hyderabad: Former MLA Gongidi Sunitha said the Congress government had failed to maintain law and order in Telangana, particularly in ensuring the safety of women and children. She demanded Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s resignation, alleging that he had failed as Chief Minister, Home Minister and Education Minister.
Addressing a press conference at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday, Sunitha cited recent murders, including the killing of six women in Shahbad, and alleged that the government was indifferent to crimes against women. She demanded a probe into the murder of principal Rupa Reddy at Kondamallepally, including the alleged role of a drug mafia and possible conspiracy.
Sunitha raised concern over increasing drug and ganja abuse among youth, citing hundreds of crores worth of drugs being seized in the State by police from neighbouring States like Maharashtra. She questioned the effectiveness of the EAGLE Force and accused the government of restricting its anti-drug efforts to statements.
Former ZP chairperson Tula Uma said teachers were also facing threats from students and alleged that online obscenity and mobile-phone addiction were affecting children. She demanded strict action against those committing crimes against women and stronger measures to curb drugs and alcohol.
