YS Sharmila to Join Congress: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy’s Sister to Merge YSR Telangana Party
Hyderabad: In a surprising political move, YS Sharmila, the sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy, has announced her decision to join the Congress party. As part of this alliance, Sharmila’s YSR Telangana party will merge with the Congress, marking a significant shift in the political landscape of the region. Sharmila is scheduled to arrive in Delhi on Thursday to hold crucial discussions with Sonia Gandhi and other party leaders, bringing the talks to their final round.
Reports suggest that the Congress has extended a generous offer to Sharmila, promising her a Rajya Sabha seat in Karnataka and a prominent leadership position within the party in Andhra Pradesh. Priyanka Gandhi, a prominent figure in the Congress party, has lent her support to this strategic move. Previously, the Congress had heavily relied on Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Sivakumar’s political maneuvers, but now all eyes are on Sharmila, Rajasekhara Reddy’s daughter, as she captures the spotlight.
Sharmila’s recent meeting with DKSivakumar in Bengaluru on May 29 sparked the initial discussions leading to this decision. The merger of the YSR Telangana Party, along with the two-year-old youth activist group Ritu Telangana Party, with the Congress is set to redefine the political landscape in the region.
One of the main promises made by the Congress to Sharmila is securing a Rajya Sabha seat for her. Additionally, there are indications that Sharmila may return to her roots in Andhra Pradesh rather than continue in Telangana. Speculations also suggest that Sharmila is being considered for the leadership role in Andhra Pradesh Congress, as the party currently lacks a prominent leader and a strong grassroots cadre system in the state.
Worth noting is the fact that Sharmila’s brother, Jaganmohan Reddy, who also serves as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, along with his YSR Congress, will undoubtedly become Sharmila’s main political rivals. Sharmila had distanced herself from Andhra Pradesh and relocated to Telangana following a falling out with her brother. However, she recently refuted rumors claiming that she would assume leadership of the Congress in Andhra Pradesh.
Meanwhile, Telangana Congress President Revanth Reddy publicly acknowledged that although Sharmila’s entry into the party is welcome, there may not be a requirement for such a leader in the state. Renuka Chaudhary, former Union Minister and senior Congress leader, also openly expressed her skepticism regarding Sharmila’s intentions, labelling it as mere greed.
