YS Sharmila, daughter of the late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, and younger sister to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, is poised to make a significant political move. The founder of the YSR Telangana Party, Sharmila, is expected to officially join the Congress on Thursday, marking a crucial development in her political trajectory. This announcement comes as she arrived in the national capital on Wednesday night.
The Congress party, in anticipation of Sharmila’s joining, has scheduled a momentous event at 10:30 a.m on Thursday at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters in New Delhi. Describing her as a “very eminent personality,” the Congress party has been gearing up for this strategic political alignment.
Upon her arrival at the Delhi airport, Sharmila, in response to queries about her potential association with the Congress, remarked affirmatively, saying, “Yes, it looks like it.” The move follows a recent party meeting in Hyderabad, where Sharmila, along with other leaders, discussed their plans to engage with the top leadership of the Congress, including AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
Given her familial political background and her role in YSR Telangana Party, there is speculation that Sharmila may assume a prominent national-level position within the Congress following the merger of YSRTP with the party. This potential transition aligns with her prior support for the Congress during the recent assembly polls in Telangana, where she aimed to combat what she perceived as corrupt and anti-people governance under the BRS led by K Chandrasekhar Rao.
As the political landscape in Telangana undergoes shifts, YS Sharmila move to join the Congress could have far-reaching implications, further shaping the dynamics of regional and national politics. The official announcement at the AICC headquarters is anticipated to shed light on the specifics of Sharmila’s role within the Congress and the broader implications for the political landscape.
