Brother Anil Kumar played an important role in the electoral success of YS Rajasekhara Reddy and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
In the name of Christian Gospel meetings, Anil Kumar spread his network across the length and breadth of Andhra Pradesh and reached out to the Pastors who could control the Christian population under their church.
A solid vote-bank is created for Congress then and YSR Congress later using Conversions money.
Now that Sharmila differed from Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister immediately pressed for a replacement.
The replacement is YS Vimala Reddy whom they call an International Evangelist.
Vimala Reddy is YSR’s sister. For the last few months, she has been giving YouTube interviews speaking in favor of YS Avinash Reddy in Vivekananda Reddy’s murder case. She also tries to find fault with Sharmila for differing from her brother.
Here is a poster of Vimala Reddy for a Gospel meeting in Tanuku, West Godavari. We can see the pictures of Minister Karmuri Nageswara Rao and other YSR Congress leaders.
So, it is easy to guess what will be the task of Vimala Reddy.
But then, the problem is Brother Anil Kumar is a popular name in the Pastors’ circle. It has to be seen if Vimala Reddy is enough to counter his impact.
Brother Anil Kumar is also expected to start the groundwork for Sharmila very soon. This is a vote bank that will be very reluctant to join TDP or Janasena. If Brother Anil Kumar manages to dent at least 3-5% of that, the game will be over for Jagan Mohan Reddy.
