AP minister Geeta Reddy alleges manhandling at Andhra bhavan as 'CM watches'

New Delhi: Andhra Pradesh Industry Minister Geeta Reddy on Wednesday broke down while narrating her alleged manhandling by securtiy personnel at Andhra Bhavan where she went to meet Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy.

"We had gone to meet Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy at Andhra Bhavan. We wanted to request him for not going to Jantar Mantar where anti-Telangana protest is going on. But security personnel present there misbehaved and manhandled us and all this happened in the CM's presence," Reddy said here.

She alleged the CM was a mute spectator when security men were pushing the delegation which had gone to meet him.

The Industry Minister broke down when she said, "I was pushed and injured in the melee. But the CM was watching it from inside a bus and did not intervene to stop it."

She further said this shows how these Seeamandhra people treat women.
