Roja tells Bojjala who is an 'iron leg'
Nagari MLA and actor Roja made an impassioned speech and pulled fast ones on the TDP MLAs during a discussion on women's rights.
At one point of time, IT Minister Palle Raghunatha Reddy interrupted and tried to retort saying that while she was the head of women wing of the TDP, she had criticized YSR.
In a fitting reply to the TDP minister, the Nagari MLA said that when their boss Chandrababu was in Congress, he slammed TDP government by saying TDP is a 'gali party' (A party without sustenance) Later, he jumped into the party as if he went for 'Illarikam' (a son in law who live in father-in-law's house)
There were peels of laughter in the AP legislative assembly when Roja made these comments. The actor-turned-politician further said "it is not about which party I am in, I will fight for the right for the women," she added.
Praising YSR's rule, she said that YSR empowered women and stood by them through PavalaVaddi scheme'. It was YSR who has implemented schemes like Pension for widows and ‘Abhaya Hastam’ for the welfare of women in the state and for the upliftment of the community.
Meanwhile, Forest Minister Bojjala Gopalakrishna Reddy, lambasted Roja and said she was an 'iron leg' (someone who is inauspicious and one who is always on the losing side).
Angered by this, Roja replied that "He called me an iron leg. One smal clarification. In 1999, I canvassed in your (Bojjala) constituency too. I campaigned for about 26 days. When Chandrababu met with an accident, you were in the same car. So you are the real 'iron leg.' A day before YSR's demise, you also went and met YSR in his camp office," Roja said advising the TDP minister to consult a doctor to check his mental balance as he may lost it in the accident.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
