In a fiery statement that has sparked controversy, former minister R.K. Roja labeled the Jana Sena Party as a “party of lust” and “an army of perverts.” This declaration came during a protest led by Roja in Chittoor, where she demanded action against Jana Sena MLA Arav Sridhar, who has been accused of sexually harassing a female employee.
The protest, which saw the participation of several party leaders including Bhumana Karunakara Reddy and MLC Chandrashekar Reddy, aimed to highlight the alleged misconduct of the MLA. The rally commenced from the A.J.S. Kalyana Mandapam and concluded at the Om Shakti Temple, emphasizing the demand for justice for the victim.
During the demonstration, Roja did not hold back her criticism of the Jana Sena Party, asserting that their political dealings are conducted with individuals lacking character. She emphasized that with leaders of such dubious morals, the value of the people diminishes. “If injustices occur to women, they do not receive justice. We must ensure justice for the victim in Railway Kodur,” she stated emphatically.
Roja further called for the suspension of the state’s Home Minister, indicating a broader accountability issue within the political framework. Her passionate remarks have resonated with many, highlighting the pressing need for women’s safety and justice in the political arena.
The rally and its accompanying statements have ignited discussions across social media platforms, prompting public debates about the treatment of women in politics and the responsibilities of elected officials. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the Jana Sena Party and the state government will respond to these serious allegations.
