On October 20, 2021, YS Sharmila embarked on a padayatra from Chevella. She had chosen this constituency because her father and former chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy had launched his YSR padayatra from the same place. She continued her remarkable journey despite challenges along the way. And, her determination and perseverance has earned her this recognition.
