Jagan Mohan Reddy's Sister YS Sharmila To Launch Her Party In Telangana On July 8

Jagan Mohan Reddy has distanced himself from YS Sharmila's political plans in Telangana, right after she made a public announcement about becoming politically active in the state.

YS Sharmila Reddy, the daughter of former Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, has announced that she will launch her political party in Telangana on July 8, her father's birth anniversary. Ms Sharmila's move was endorsed by her mother YS Vijayalakshmi, who said she was happy her daughter had chosen to serve the people of Telangana. She added that her daughter had the same guts as her father. This came on Friday evening at a Sankalpa Sabha, a public meeting in Khammam after a massive car rally from Hyderabad to the border district, where the YSR Congress - the ruling party of Andhra Pradesh, headed by Ms Sharmila's brother YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, did well in elections after Telangana was formed. Jagan Mohan Reddy has distanced himself from his younger sister's political plans in Telangana, right after she made a public announcement about becoming politically active in the state.
