Telugu Desam supremo chandrababu naidu has mostly remained silent on this issue, but for the first time, he has spoken against YS Sharmila. Since entering andhra pradesh politics and taking over as president of the andhra pradesh Congress, YS sharmila has been calling out her brother jagan mohan reddy-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">ys jagan mohan reddy, and criticising him for his ineffective rule.
Naidu made a plea to the people, suggesting that jagan and sharmila, the brother and sister team, could be manipulating the results of the anti-CYCP vote. He observed that this may be a ploy by the two of them to divide the anti-incumbency vote and try to capture some of the votes that would have gone to the alliance. He urged people not to fall for these ploys.
Recalling Vijayamma's statement that jagan would handle ap while her daughter sharmila would handle Telangana, Naidu asked her why sharmila had suddenly moved to AP. Though it must be noted that jagan was the primary beneficiary of Congress's defeat in the ap as almost all of its votes were shifted to Jagan's YCP, Naidu's remarks are a foresighted appraisal.
Now that jagan has completed his five years in office, the coalition should receive all of the anti-incumbency votes. However, since sharmila has suddenly entered the picture, a small portion of these votes—at least those that have historically gone to Congress—might go to Congress. Naidu specifically called attention to this and advised the ap people to exercise caution.
