N Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, strongly condemned derogatory comments allegedly made by journalists about the women of Amaravati. Speaking on social media platform 'X', Naidu highlighted the cultural value placed on women among Telugu people, asserting that such remarks assault every woman's dignity.
The controversy emerged when a journalist on a vernacular news channel reportedly made discourteous statements targeting Amaravati, sparking a protest march by local women. Naidu criticized the absence of a response from YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, opposition leader and YSRCP chief, describing it as troubling.
The Chief Minister vowed strict action against those responsible, stressing the NDA government's dedication to preserving women's respect. He stated that this mindset had already been rejected democratically and called for accountability and an apology to prevent the continuation of such a culture.
