Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President YS Sharmila has launched a sharp critique of Chief Minister YS Jagan, accusing him of being the “brand of backdoor deals” and questioning his claims of having a “hotline” with national leaders. She described his public display tours and use of vehicles to influence people as laughable, noting that Rahul Gandhi remains unaware of such tactics.
Addressing the media, Sharmila said Rahul Gandhi is committed to protecting citizens and upholding the Indian Constitution. She alleged that while Jagan claims a hotline with Prime Minister Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah, he has no such connection with former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. She challenged Jagan to respond publicly and accused him of relying on shortcuts and preferential treatment, unlike Rahul Gandhi, who does not intervene when party leaders face legal action.
Sharmila further alleged that Jagan engages in corrupt politics, bowing to Modi and supporting all BJP-introduced bills. She also criticized him for disparaging Manikyam Thakur while avoiding discussion on challenges raised by him, claiming this demonstrates a lack of courage and propriety. Sharmila added, “We called him an adopted son because he is in hotline contact with Modi. If he is confident, he should go to the Assembly and ask questions. During debates on vote fraud in Parliament, he remains silent. Can anyone criticize Rahul for fighting for the country’s future?”
