Yesterday, ABN MD Radha Krishna highlighted in his Weekend Comment what RK predicted today will happen tomorrow. Some incidents have already confirmed this scenario. RK predicted Sharmila taking charge of AP Congress a few months ago, and this is expected to occur in the first week of January. Many members of YSRCP have criticized RK for Sharmila’s potential entry into AP politics.
Despite Jagan Reddy’s efforts to prevent Sharmila from joining the Congress party, hopes are rising in Congress, especially after their victory in Telangana. Rahul Gandhi envisions strengthening the Congress party in Andhra Pradesh by the 2029 elections, if not in 2024. As a result, he has decided to appoint Sharmila as the president of APCC.
Several individuals seeking YSRCP tickets have reportedly contacted Congress leaders like KVP Ramachandra Rao. According to the latest information, there is a possibility that almost half of the sitting MLAs from YSRCP may join the Congress. MLA Alla Ramakrishna Reddy from Mangalagiri has decided to join the Congress party and has been in touch with Sharmila.
Rahul Gandhi aims to increase the Congress party’s vote share to 15 percent in the upcoming elections. Jagan Reddy’s recent actions also appear to align with the Congress party. There is a possibility that Sharmila will contest the Kadapa MP seat on behalf of the Congress party in the next election, while Avinash Reddy may remain the YSRCP candidate.
A campaign has circulated suggesting that Jagan Reddy’s wife, Bharti Reddy, intends to contest from the Kadapa MP seat. If Sharmila contests on behalf of Congress, Bharti may decide not to enter the fray. Members of YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s family are reportedly determined to defeat Avinash Reddy, who is accused in the murder case of Baba Vivekananda Reddy.
It is said that if Sharmila contests against Avinash Reddy, YS family members, along with Viveka’s daughter Dr. Sunitha, may campaign on her behalf. Sharmila’s entry into the election arena is anticipated to create a sensation.
