Opposition BJP today said the absence of women in Telangana Cabinet shows the "neglect" of women leaders within the ruling TRS.
The party alleged the TRS Government has done precious little for women empowerment.
"There is zero representation of women in the Cabinet of KCR (Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao). KCR should explain to the women of Telangana how he has not found even a single woman MLA competent enough to be a Minister.
"How can women be totally unrepresented in the state Cabinet of a democratically-elected government?" Telangana BJP spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao said in a statement.
"BJP feels it highlights the utter disrespect and neglect of woman leaders in the TRS," he said.
