Sharmila facing immense troubles. Sharmila hails from the prestigious YS family, known for its political influence in the Kadapa region, having produced two Chief Ministers for the state. While Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy served as Chief Minister of the combined state, his son Jagan currently holds the position in the divided state. Despite her family's political legacy, Sharmila has not contested in elections before. However, she is now poised to enter electoral politics for the first time as the state chief of the Congress party.
It is speculated that Sharmila will be the Congress candidate for the Kadapa MP seat, where she will face her cousin Avinash Reddy. This election will mark a rare instance of YS family members competing against each other. The Kadapa region has traditionally been a stronghold of the YSRCP, making it a challenging battleground for Sharmila. The region comprises several MLA segments, including Badvel, Kadapa, Pulivendula, Kamalapuram, Jammalamadugu, Proddatur, and Mydukur, all of which have been dominated by the YS family.
Winning over voters in this region will be a daunting task for Sharmila, but if she can connect with them effectively, she stands a chance of securing her first electoral victory. On the other hand, Avinash Reddy faces allegations in the Viveka case, with his daughter Sunitha criticizing him publicly. There are speculations that Sunitha might support Sharmila and campaign for her, which could impact the election dynamics.
The Viveka case is expected to be a focal point of the election, and Sharmila's ability to highlight this issue could be crucial to her success. However, failure to do so might lead to a challenging start to her political career. As Sharmila prepares for her debut election, all eyes are on her performance and the outcome of the polls.
