Honorary president of YSR Congress Party and wife of former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Y.S. Vijayamma, announced here in an emotionally charged tone on Friday that she was resigning from the party.
Ms. Vijayamma also added that she would stand with her daughter, Y.S Sharmila, president of YSR Telangana Congress.
“Our family is indebted to you always. My son and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and my daughter Y.S. Sharmila are representing two different States and two different parties. My daughter has taken a decision to continue the legacy of YSR in Telangana, and the State will see elections much before Andhra Pradesh. I have stood by my son during his hardship, and If I continue to support him even when he is happy, I will be doing injustice to my daughter,” said Ms. Vijayamma.
