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.
After failing to tie up with Congress, daughter of late Rajasekhara Reddy, undivided Andhra's CM & sister of current AP CM Jagan Reddy, Sharmila says decision in state's 'larger interest'.
Sharmila formed YSR Telangana Party in July 2021, following differences with her brother & Andhra CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. She called Thursday’s meeting ‘constructive’.
YSRTP chief's comments come after she was detained Sunday for allegedly making inappropriate remarks against the Mahabubabad MLA and BRS leader Shankar Naik.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
