It’s curtains for YSRTP as Sharmila says no objection to join Congress

After months of delay, YSR Telangana Party chief Y.S. Sharmila has announced that she has no objection to joining the Congress party.

After wide ranging consultations with the Congress leadership, she might announce the merger of her party in the Congress. Ms. Sharmila on Tuesday held broad-based meeting with senior party leaders at the Lotus Pond headquarters of the YSRTP and later travelled to Idupulapaya in YSR Kadapa district in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh to present the wedding card of her son Raja Reddy at the memorial of Late Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy.

After paying tributes to her father, she announced that the YSRTP has decided to strengthen the Congress party. “Congress alone is the biggest secular party in the country that gives security to everyone. That’s why we have decided to strengthen the party,” she said adding that towards this direction, she would be travelling to New Delhi on Wednesday.
