Sharmila slams Jagan for likening Botsa Satyanarayana to YSR

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y. S. Sharmila on Wednesday said there was no trace of ‘YSR’ left in the YSR Congress Party and blamed Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for it.

Speaking at an election meeting in Repalle constituency, she said while canvassing for Minister Botcha Satyanarayana, Mr. Jagan likened him to his father. Taking strong exception to it, she reminded the Chief Minister that Mr. Botcha had abused YSR in the Assembly and had called him names. He did not even spare their mother Vijayamma and had spoken ill of her. “Today, people who had abused YSR in the past have become Mr. Jagan’s ‘family,” she said.

She said Mr. Jagan had promised construction of check dams, a 100-bed hospital in this region, an aqua park for local farmers, a shipping harbour and supply of drinking water through taps in every household but none of them were fulfilled.
