With no place in AP, Sharmila seeking political space in Telangana: Gutha

"Sharmila, who has Rayalaseema DNA, has taken up the padayatra in Telangana for this purpose," he said.

Nalgonda: Former Chairman of Telangana State Legislative Council Gutha Sukender Reddy on Saturday said TYSRCP leader Y S Sharmila was trying the political waters in Telangana after realising that she had no place in Andhra Pradesh.

“Sharmila, who has Rayalaseema DNA, has taken up the padayatra in Telangana for this purpose,” he said.

Addressing the media here, Sukender Reddy said leaders of some political parties were unable to stomach the development taking place in Telangana, and with fear of losing ground, were deliberately indulging in leveling falsehoods to tarnish the image of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao.

Referring to Sharmila’s allegation of of family rule in Telangana, he said several family members of late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy were MLCs and MLAs during his rule, and Sharmila should clarify this point first.

Sukhender Reddy said come issues are bound to exist even in fully developed areas but the  government continues with its efforts to solve them.

“There are issues and disputes in the YSR family which is why Sharmila is trying to gain a political foothold in Telangana State,” he added.

Stating that the BJP government at the Centre had conspired to make winning difficult for TRS candidate Gellu Srinivas Yadav by misusing Election Commission and deploying central police forces for Huzurabad by-election, he pointed out that 20,000 paramilitary forces were deployed in the Assembly constituency and an election expenditure observer was appointed for each of the four mandals in the constituency.

Stating that the BJP had no moral right to seek votes, he said the saffron party should bring down the prices of petrol, diesel and essential commodities before going to the people. He said the TRS candidate will win Huzurabad by-election with a huge margin since people do not believe the false propaganda of the opposition parties.    

Miryalaguda MLA N Bhaskar Rao also present.
