Andhra Pradesh Congress president Y.S. Sharmila on April 21 (Sunday) denied the allegation that she was using the Vivekananda Reddy’s murder case in election campaign for political gains.
Addressing a meeting in Kurnool, she said had the accused in the case been punished, she and her cousin Narreddy Sunitha would not be talking about this in public meetings. “Ms. Sunitha had been fighting a lone battle for justice, and I decided to support her. Our fight is for justice,” she reiterated.
She also took exception to portrayal of Mr. Vivekananda’s personal life in “a bad light” by leaders of the YSRCP. Saying that all in the party had used his services as a leader with vast political experience, she asked why his personal life was not of any concern to them when he was alive.
