CPI State secretary Dr K Narayana has reportedly apologized to Major Industries Minister Dr J Geeta Reddy for his remarks against her.
Narayana, who had already made controversial remarks against the arrested IAS officer Srilakshmi and apologized, has once again created flutters and angry retorts from the ruling party for his alleged remarks against Geeta Reddy. Apart from women’s organizations, Dr Narayana’s wife also reportedly took exception to his remarks against women.
Following all-round resentment, Dr Narayana reportedly called up Geeta Reddy and apologized. He told her that he had no intention of degrading her and the words slipped in the natural flow. While laughing the remarks away, Geeta Reddy is also said to have told the CPI leader how could he make such comments being an elderly leader himself.
It may be recalled that Narayana drew the ire of the Assembly members by calling the House a Pig Sty (Pandula Doddy). The Speaker, who took serious exception to the remark of Narayana, had said that he would issue a notice to him for contempt of the House. However, Narayana said that he did not call the House a pig sty, but he called it a ‘Bandela Doddi’ (Cattle Shed), which is no less demeaning.
