Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s sister YS Sharmila is going to join Congress. On Saturday itself, Congress had hinted at Sharmila changing party.
The special thing is that he has taken this decision a month after the Telangana Assembly elections. Assembly elections are also to be held in Andhra Pradesh this year.
It is being said that Congress can give a bigger role to Sharmila in the upcoming assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh. Besides, the party can also entrust him with important responsibilities in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Actually, the party hopes that those who wish to leave the Yuvajana Shramik Rythu Congress Party i.e. YSRCP can join the Congress.
In the year 2021 itself, Sharmila had made it clear that she had political differences with her brother. He had also claimed that YSRCP has no presence in Telangana.
In July he had announced YSR Telangana Party. Even during the Telangana Assembly elections, Sharmila had said that she would not contest the elections.
She said that Congress’s position in the elections is good and she does not want to weaken it.
