Even as the state was recovering from the shock of Amaravati women being called prostitutes, the stone and chappal throwing incident has once again become a talking point among citizens of AP.
The incidents happened back to back and they showcase the respect or lack of it towards women among the YSRCP cadre. Political analysts feel the acts are being carried out at the behest of party chief YS Jagan.

It has to be noted that no YSRCP leader has said sorry or apologized to women who are emotionally hurt in both the incidents.
While the women are demanding an apology from Jagan and Bharathi, the YSRCP leaders are trying to divert attention by raking up past issues.
