APCC President YS Sharmila continuing her tirade against her brother YS Jaganmohan Reddy and other family members after taking up Congress leadership and directly swing into electoral battle against her brother and uncle’s son YS Avinash Reddy, the sitting MP from Kadapa.
The AICC is now focusing on Andhra Pradaesh finalising its candidates for Lok Sabha assembly polls. According to party sources, it has finales candidates for 5 Lok Sabha and 117 Assembly seats on Sunday evening. It may officially announce soon.
Kadapa is among five Lok Sabha seats it finalised, from where Sharmila will be the party candidate. The CBI stated in its charge sheet that Avinash Reddy and his father Bhaskar Reddy are prime accused in the murder of her another uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy.
Only last week, Jagan during his tour in Kadapa district, alleged that his sisters are trusting people who are accused in his uncle’s murder. Sharmila, who has been extending moral support to Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter Dr Suneetha Reddy in her fight again accused in her murder’s case, is now preparing to contest against one of the main accused in the case.
Meanwhile, other Lok Sabha candidates are former union ministers Pallam Raju from Kakinada, JD Seelam from Bapatla, former APCC chief Gidugu Rudra Raju from Rajamahendravaram and Sathya Reddy from Visakhapatnam.
Sharmila said that the AICC Screening Committee finalized candidates names for most of constituencies and will be announced on Tuesday. Since bifurcation of the state in 2014, Congress failued to make any presence in elections. It failed to win any MP or Assembly seat, or even unable to get respectable votes.
In this background, Sharmila’s decision to contest in her family’s fort, from where earlier her father YS Rajasekhar Reddy, uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy and brother Jaganmohan Reddy had won as MPs, will remain a prestigious one.
