Amid the ongoing political speculation over YSR Congress Telangana Party (YSRTP) chief Y.S. Sharmila taking the Congress route, an interesting tweet from her indicated that she was not averse to the Congress party after distancing from it nine years ago following the death of her father Y.S. Rajashekhar Reddy.
Ms. Sharmila thanked Congress Rahul Gandhi for remembering her father YSR on his 74th birth anniversary in an affectionate tone and tenor. Mr. Rahul Gandhi earlier tweeted praying his tributes to the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Mr. Gandhi described him as “a visionary leader who devoted his life to the betterment of the people of Andhra Pradesh. He shall always be remembered.”
An overwhelmed Sharmila responded by sharing Mr. Gandhi’s tweet and also replying “Thank you @rahulgandhi ji for your affectionate words, reminiscing late Dr Y.S. Rajashekara Reddy on his birth anniversary. Dr YSR was a committed Congress leader who died in the service of Telugu people, believing in the bright future for this country under your leadership. His model of welfarism remains the preferred model of governance across the country even to date. Thank you Sir that Dr. YSR remains in your heart.”
