The ugly trend of posting abusive posts against women, whose only connection with politics is because of their spouses, is on the rise in Andhra Pradesh. Obscene posters on the roads and abusive posts online are vitiating the atmosphere in the state and are leading to unsavoury situations. A person was beaten black and blue for posting obscene posts against Nara Brahmani, daughter of actor-politician Nandamuri Balakrishna and wife of TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh.
The incident happened in Mustafanagar in Khammam district on Thursday. According to sources, the TDP workers in Mustafanagar were upset over social media posts and identified that one Kodati Narasimha was responsible for them. When contacted, the youth replied recklessly and dared them to come to the YSRCP office in Mustafanagar.
The TDP leaders went there and questioned him. He replied evasively and tried to provoke them. Then the TDP workers thrashed him. The TDP leaders said that they would not tolerate vilification of the women members of both Nara and Nandamuri fans. TDP Khammam Lok Sabha committee incharge Kurapati Venkateswarlu warned that those posting obscene posters would meet the same fate.
Significantly, such obscene posts are being uploaded by individuals and not officially uploaded. It may be recalled that both Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and TDP Andhra Pradesh president Atchen Naidu have reached an agreement not to drag the women members of the political families into the slugfest However, posting of such unsavoury posts is continuing unabated.
