Sharmila’s second innings in politics is always strange. Fought with her brother, she chose to try her luck in Telangana the state which supposedly give her no hope.
Everything looked adverse for her but she swam against the tide by doing a Padyatra close to 4000 Kilometers.
She even involved her mother so as to invoke ‘Rajanna’ sentiment but to of no use.
For someone who knows the basics of politics, her optimism is a surprise but right at the reaching distance to the elections, Sharmila looks dropped the mantle.
Telangana Assembly elections are just one month away and she even got a common symbol allocated, but she is yet to announce the first list of candidates.
The political activity at her Lotus Pond Residence cum office became zero.
Sharmila messed up her already messed up political career by reaching out to Congress with a merger proposal.
After a series of meetings and the impression that the merger was done, Congress’s high command left her stranded on the road.
Many leaders have left and she lost whatever so little goodwill she has in the people and the future looks bleak.
Sharmila planned to contest from Paleru, the Reddy bastion in Khammam district but sources say she is having a second thought given that Ponguleti, a family friend is contesting there.
There are speculations that Sharmila and her party would totally withdraw from the elections.
