Telangana governor alleges sexism, says govt discriminating against her as ‘woman’

Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday alleged that the office of the gubernatorial post was “humiliated” by the state government and pointed to discrimination meted out to her as a “woman Governor”. 

She cited the example of travelling by road for eight hours to attend the tribal festival of ‘Sammakka-Sarakka Jatara’ when the state government did not allegedly inform whether a helicopter as sought by her office was provided or not.
