Adviser (Public Affairs) and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has said that Y.S. Sharmila, sister of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, is free to chart her own political course, but everyone knows that her joining the Indian National Congress (INC) is a part of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu’s conspiracy aimed at defeating the YSRCP in the upcoming general elections.
As far as the Congress party’s likely impact on the YSRCP was concerned, Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy, while addressing the media here on January 6, said it was not worthwhile to even speak about the party that had got fewer votes than that polled in the None Of The Above (NOTA) category.
Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy said it was not yet clear in what capacity Ms. Sharmila might come to Andhra Pradesh, and maintained that it was all orchestrated by Mr. Naidu, who was managing the BJP and Jana Sena Party. The Congress party and the TDP had together tried to “nip YSRCP in the bud,” he added.
