During the election in AP, the war of words between YS Rajasekhar Reddy (YSR) TPCC president YS Sharmila and Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy turned bold. Already, Jagan’s comments targeting Sharmila in the case of his uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy’s murder heated up with mutual contradictions.
In continuation of blame game between brother and sister, Sharmila responded critically over Jaganmohan Reddy addressing minister Botsa Sathyanarayana at Vizianagaram on Tuesday as his `father-like figure’. She lamented that the entire cabinet of YS Jagan was filled with those who abused their father Rajasekhar Reddy.
Addressing an election rally in Repalle on Wednesday, she referred to how Botsa earlier abused YSR and insulted him on the floor of the Assembly. She deplored that Botsa cursed YSR as a drunkard and said that Jagan should be hanged. Further, he alleged that Jagan had several benamies. She expressed concern that he even humiliated their mother Vijayamma also.
Sharmila deplored that those abused YSR and his family members are now fathers, sisters and brothers to Jagan. But those who really worked for him are nothing to him. What about the people who did padayatras for Jagan? What about those who worked for him and were axed?, she asked.
She lamented that there is no YSR in the name of the YSRCP party.. Y stands for YV Subba Reddy, S stands for Sai Reddy, R stands for Ramakrishna Reddy, she said, adding a new meaning to YSRCP.
Meanwhile, she asked people that has there been any development in Repalle in the last 10 years?, Is justice been done to any community? Sharmila asked people. “Has there been development in Repalle in 10 years? Jagan has come here and guaranteed check dams will be built and irrigation will be given to lakhs of acres. He promised a 100-bed hospital. He said Aqua Park for Aqua Farmers. Promised to provide tap connection to every house. He said he would build a shipping harbor. But not a single promise has been fulfilled, she added.
