Congress Leader YS Sharmila: Jagan Mohan Reddy remote-controlled by PM Modi

YS Sharmila, leader of the Andhra Pradesh Congress and Kadapa candidate, criticized Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party leader Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday for his remarks about the Congress, referring to them as “remote-control” comments.

“Jagan Mohan Reddy commented yesterday that the Congress party is remote-controlled by Chandrababu Naidu. Congress party condemns this strongly and that it is Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is being remote-controlled by PM Modi,” Sharmila stated on Tuesday in an interview with ANI.
“PM Modi requested for the Gangavaram Port to be given to Adani and Jagan Mohan Reddy obliged, not only one but many such projects. Jagan Mohan Reddy obliged and gave the reliance (RIL group president Parimal Nathwanithe) Rajya Sabha seat. Being a Christian himself Jagan Mohan Reddy saw the atrocities on the Christians in Manipur and still supported the BJP,” she continued.

Earlier this week, CM Jagan criticized the opposition for employing his sisters in their attempts to undermine the YSRCP in the state.

“Unable to face me alone in the political arena, TDP-JSP-BJP is united to conspire against me. Unfortunately, my two sisters (referring to Sharmila and Sunita) are being used as part of their conspiracy. It was Congress that tried to hide YSR’s legacy. Congress didn’t even receive as many votes as NOTA did. Further, Congress was responsible for Andhra Pradesh’s bifurcation and neglected to include the special category status in the state reorganization act. Will anyone vote for the Congress that has broken the state?” CM Jagan stated.

He further remarked that backing the Congress is equivalent to supporting Chandrababu.

“Who will benefit if our votes are divided? It will be Chandrababu and BJP,” CM Jagan said.”Our younger sisters have become part of the opposition conspiracy. They are hanging around with those who unfairly defeated Chinnanna (Uncle Vivekananda) in the MLC election and people should be aware of the opposition’s conspiracy to gain political mileage,” he continued.

Earlier this year, Sharmila joined the Congress party and merged her YSR Telangana Party with it.

Simultaneous elections for the Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha will take place on May 13, with the vote counting scheduled for June 4.

Andhra Pradesh has a total of 175 Assembly seats and 25 Lok Sabha seats. In the 2019 Assembly elections, the YSRCP secured a dominant majority by winning 151 seats, while the TDP managed only 23 seats. Similarly, in the Lok Sabha elections, the TDP secured only three seats, while the YSRCP won 22 seats.
