Y.S. Sharmila, APCC president, may contest Lok Sabha elections from Kadapa

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila is almost certain to enter the election fray from the Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency.

The party leadership is said to be keen on fielding Ms. Sharmila, the new hope of the Congress in Andhra Pradesh, from Kadapa, where her cousin from the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Y.S. Avinash Reddy, who is Accused No. 8 in the murder case of former Minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, is the sitting MP.

Though speculation has been rife over Ms. Sharmila’s likely plan to contest for the Kadapa MP seat, senior Congress leaders maintain stoic silence, waiting for the leadership in Delhi to convey its final decision on the issue.
