It's Jagan vs Sharmila: Congress names Andhra CM's sister state unit chief

Congress appoints YS Sharmila, sister of YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, as Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president. Sharmila's appointment is seen as an effort to reclaim Congress's association with their late father YS Rajasekhar Reddy. YSRCP leaders hint at a robust approach toward Sharmila during the upcoming high-stakes sibling rivalry in the Lok Sabha and assembly polls. Congress leadership anticipates that Sharmila’s political presence could attract supporters who had deserted party after the bifurcation of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh in 2014.
