Congress sees glad tidings for the party in Andhra Pradesh

The brewing discontent in the ruling YSR Congress Party (YRSCP) augurs well for the prospects of the Congress in Andhra Pradesh, where it is gearing up for a fresh innings this election season.

As Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy sets on the task of rejigging his party, naming 38 new coordinators for the Assembly and Lok Sabha seats, voices of protest by party leaders erupt criticising the weeding out exercise based on a survey report.

The Congress party leaders are happy about the timing of the crucial entry of Y.S. Sharmila when the State is witnessing an anti-incumbency wave. Though it is not yet clear what role will Ms. Sharmila be given in the party, there is unanimity among the party leaders that she will be the star campaigner in the Andhra Pradesh elections.
