Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh): Mala Mahanadu women's wing president Joni Kumari consumed poison during a press meet here on Monday.

Kumari held a press meet at the press club where she alleged that she was cheated by some persons in the ruling party, and she was unable to meet the Chief Minister in this regard due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

She said that she met with the top brass of YSRCP but they did not respond to her problems, adding that she considered the ruling party in the state as her family but was cheated by some. "I have not received justice so far but I met senior leader Vijayasai Reddy on July 6," she said.
