"Immediately after I stated those words I apologised, and I told the Women's Commission the same thing. Again, I told the Women's Commission that I am sorry if anyone's sentiments were hurt," said the BRS working President.
He also condemned the alleged attacks by Congress workers on BRS women leaders, with him claiming that the BRS leaders have been attacked by nail cutters. He urged the state's women's commission to take suo moto cognisance in the matter.
"I strongly condemn the attack on our women workers by Congress workers. They tell me that they have been attacked with small objects like nail cutters. This is not right. Police should take a case against this. Women's Commission should also take suo moto cognisance in this matter," said KTR. (ANI)
