BRS working president KT Rama Rao regretted his remarks against women during a party meeting at Telangana Bhavan and asserted that they were unintended. He issued an unconditional apology stating that his remarks were not meant to hurt women and were made unintentionally, while criticising the State government.
“I am sorry for the remarks which were never meant to demean or hurt my sisters,” he asserted.
Speaking about the free bus travel scheme for women in RTC buses during the meeting on Thursday, Rama Rao responded to Panchayat Raj Minister Dansari Anasuya alias Seethakka’s remarks asking what was wrong with women passengers segregating onions and peeling garlic, while travelling in buses. He said the BRS never objected to such activties, but pointed out that free bus travel was not intended for it.
