Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) President YS Sharmila has once again launched a scathing attack on her brother and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, questioning his commitment to the state’s governance. Her remarks come in response to Jagan’s abrupt exit from the Assembly budget session even before the Governor’s speech was completed.
Taking to social media, Sharmila ridiculed Jagan’s brief presence in the Assembly, sarcastically asking, “Did Jagan attend just for 11 minutes with his 11 MLAs?” She accused him of prioritizing his opposition status over public issues, claiming that he attended merely to mark his presence and avoid disqualification. She then issued a direct challenge—either ensuring YSRCP actively participates in Assembly proceedings from Tuesday or resign immediately.
Sharmila didn’t hold back in her criticism of the ruling alliance either. She described the Governor’s address as empty and lacking direction, arguing that it failed to provide a concrete vision for Andhra Pradesh’s future. Branding it a speech filled with half-truths and misleading claims, she stated that it offered no real solutions to the state’s pressing concerns.
One of her major grievances was the government’s vague stance on its ‘Super Six’ promises. She pointed out that, aside from the LPG cylinder subsidy, there was no clear plan on how the remaining five commitments would be fulfilled. Disparaging the usage of too many metaphors and vague remarks in the speech, Sharmila claimed that it did not offer a practical blueprint for Andhra Pradesh’s growth by 2047.
Venting out against the eight-month record of the state government, Sharmila underscored that the citizens of Andhra Pradesh are becoming more and more agitated. She highlighted how citizens are still waiting for concrete welfare measures, only to be met with empty words and political maneuvering.
With YSRCP under fire and opposition voices growing louder, all eyes are now on how Jagan Mohan Reddy and his party will respond to these sharp criticisms. Will the government address the concerns raised or continue on its current path?
