Cat Fight In AP Women’s Commission: Mary Ravindranath Vs Padmaja Reddy

Folks,

Here is some tabloid material. It looks like the leaders of the Womens Commission of AP, Mary Ravindranath and Padmaja Reddy got into a cat fight.

Mary Ravindranath

Here is the video of this cat fight.  — Unfortunately it’s gone

You can read about their ruckus here,  or click here for the pdf.

These are the officials who are supposed to look after the welfare of women! Nice. They may want start by learning about something called professionalism.

Here is a corroboration of the allegations of her slapping people: Hindu article

Click here’s the jpg of the same article.

So much about being a Christian and respecting the tenets of Christianity — which include not slapping people around!  Also, her husband is wanted by the CBI in a cheating case. (Link is unfortunately dead, so here’s the pdf)

I am sure that she is proud of him as she dons the mantle of a true congresswoman now that her hubby is involved in a corruption case.

Last I heard, the CM of AP had asked both these women to resign after this disgusting cat fight in public.
