TDP MLAs seek strict action against Roja over her remarks

Several ruling TDP members in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly today sought strict disciplinary action against opposition YSR Congress member R K Roja, who has been suspended for one year, for her allegedly unparliamentary comments and behaviour in the House.
TDP MLA V Anita, who took up the issue during Zero Hour, broke down while making her point that Roja had insulted her.
"Roja's comments were abusive. I felt hurt...I have two children. I don't know what to tell them. You (Speaker) have to tell me what justice you will do to me," she said.
Anita said she is a Dalit woman and came up the hard way in life, she said.

State Minister for Mines Peethala Sujata alleged that earlier, Roja had abused her too.
Another TDP woman member Yamini Bala said the YSRCP member should be handed out a strict punishment by the Speaker like expulsion.

Roja did not even spare the Chief Minister and Speaker with her objectionable comments and behavior (when YSRCP members stand in the Well), senior TDP MLA G Buchaiah Chowdary alleged.
Speaker K Sivaprasad said he would examine various materials, including visual recordings, and take a decision.
Roja was suspended from the House for one year last week for her allegedly unparliamentary comments on Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.

Roja told reporters separately that the ruling TDP has been targeting her and resorting to character assassination.
"Senior members from the treasury benches have been using abusive language while we were being denied mike and we were being projected as trouble makers by beaming selective clippings," she said.
The YSRCP boycotted the proceedings yesterday and today in protest against Roja's suspension and against the House not continuing debate on 'call money racket'.
