YSRTP President YS Sharmila revealed on why she has decided not to contest in the Telangana Assembly elections that are bound to happen this month’s end. She made the revelation at the India Today Roundtable Telangana.
The senior journalist questioned YS Sharmila on why she had decided not to contest when a few days back, she was quite aggressive in taking on KCR and the BRS party. He asked what suddenly changed.
YS Sharmila answering the question stated that her father YS Rajasekhar Reddy has worked for Congress for more than thirty years. “Like it or not, I bear my dad’s legacy who will be remembered as a Congress Man. If I contest in the elections, the vote share I get would have originally belonged to Congress. According to a study, I am going to hugely dent Congress’s chances in 55 seats while I will help Congress lose 20 seats. At this juncture, Congress has a chance to topple the KCR government and I don’t want to hinder the opportunity,” she said.
