Tirupati: Andhra Pradesh Tourism Minister R K Roja on Tuesday broke down in tears and said she would file a defamation suit against TDP leader B Satyanarayana Murthy for his disparaging remarks against her.
Murthy (68) was arrested on Monday night for his derogatory remarks against Roja, police said on Tuesday.
A teary-eyed Roja said that men like Murthy not only abuse successful women but also pose a threat to all girls who aspire to follow their dreams.
“If you attempt to silence or suppress my voice, it won’t work. I will continue to support our chief minister and the women of our state. I will continue to highlight the failures of TDP,” she said at a press conference.
The minister also said that she would file a defamation suit against Murthy.
Meanwhile, Murthy was produced before a court in Guntur which granted him conditional bail, Guntur West sub-divisional police officer Uma Maheshwar Reddy told PTI.
