Sonia Gandhi shares Sharmila’s pain on painting YSR with corruption charges

The Gandhi family still has high regard for late Chief Minister Y.S. Rajashekhara Reddy and adding his name to an FIR related to a disproportionate assets case was painful, and relatable.

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi responded to the pain of YSRTP president Y.S. Sharmila in seeing her father’s name dragged into a case by equating her own pain when her husband, late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s name was also posthumously added to an FIR.

Ms.Sharmila revealed this to newsmen on Saturday after paying homage to her father on his death anniversary amid talks of YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP)’s impending merger with the Congress party. She said Ms. Gandhi had asked her how she could believe that the Gandhi family was behind adding YSR’s name to the FIR.
