Sharmila’s Party to support Cong in T’gana

 

 

 

 

THE YSR Telangana Party will not contest the November 30 Assembly polls in the State and would support the Opposition Congress, YSRTP president Y S Sharmila said on Friday. Sharmila, daughter of the late Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, announced supporting Congress to end the “corrupt and anti-people rule” of BRS led by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. She said she would not like to stand as a hurdle by splitting the anti-government votes when there is a possibility of a regime change in the state.

 

Sharmila said she has immense respect for Congress leaders and activists, and that she does not want to split the votes of Congress, which may benefit the ruling BRS. “After so many years, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘padayatra’ showed results in Karnataka. At the time when it will show its results in Telangana, we have no intention for hurting the Congress.”
