In Andhra Pradesh, the political rivalry between Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his sister Y.S. Sharmila is intensifying. Sharmila, the president of the state’s Congress party, has ramped up her criticism of her brother, urging him to either attend the Assembly or resign if he continues to neglect his duties.
Today, Sharmila accused Jagan of evading the Assembly sessions and labeled his behavior as neglectful, questioning his commitment to public service. She criticized the state budget, claiming it was ineffective and did not serve the public. She pointed out that Congress had already addressed these concerns before Jagan echoed similar sentiments, calling attention to the YSRCP’s lack of progress despite its 40% vote share.
Sharmila further challenged Jagan, stating that his refusal to engage with the Assembly and tackle key issues was diminishing the relevance of the YSRCP. She suggested that if party leaders are not willing to take a stand in the Assembly, they should resign and allow for a new, more active leadership. She also called for a detailed discussion on the allocation of funds for the Super Six schemes, urging the YSRCP to take a stronger position on issues affecting the public.
Sharmila’s remarks are fueling a growing political divide as she pushes her brother to either prove his leadership by engaging in the Assembly or step down to make way for someone more committed to the people’s welfare.
