Though Viveka murder case is hot topic again in YSR family home-turf, locals appear disinclined to vote on its basis. Some also dismiss Jagan-Sharmila rivalry as a 'family matter'.
YS Sharmila, the Congress candidate from Kadapa Lok Sabha seat, also declared in her affidavit that she owned land and jewellery worth Rs 9.29 crore and Rs 8.3 crore, respectively.
Ever since she took over as Andhra Congress chief, Sharmila has been facing fierce backlash, especially on social media where CM Jagan's supporters are using the #MorusupalliSharmila.
Touring Srikakulam, new Andhra Congress chief Sharmila has stepped up attacks on her brother over issues including state’s financial status & alleged attacks on Christians in Manipur.
Sharmila, the sister of Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Reddy, had joined the Congress on 4 January in Delhi in the presence of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
After merging her party with Congress, Sharmila praised Congress’ secular credentials & said she wanted to fulfil her late father’s dream of seeing Rahul Gandhi become PM.
Sharmila also announced the merger of her YSR Telangana Party with Congress. She founded the outfit after parting ways with her brother, Andhra CM Jagan Reddy, in July 2021.
However, her vote-pulling capacity is yet to be tested. She is expected to be given prominent AICC position or made Andhra chief, says YSRTP general secretary Thudi Devender Reddy.
