Sharmila exhorts people to vote out Chief Minister Jagan and save A.P. from a ‘dictator’

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila on February 11 (Sunday) appealed to the people to unseat Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy from power “to save the State from a dictator.”

Addressing a public meeting at Nagari, Ms. Sharmila said that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had no right to claim to be the heir of late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy as he failed to carry forward the legacy of the former Chief Minister.

“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power by promising to usher in ‘Rajanna Rajyam’ and fight for the Special Category Status (SCS) for the State. But, after coming to power, he became a slave to the BJP government at the Center much like his predecessor and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu,” she said.
