Sharmila’s Yatra in Telangana from Dec 8

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s sister Sharmila will begin the Paramarsa Yatra in Telangana region from Mahbubnagar district on December 8 to complete the unfinished Odarpu Yatra.

Speaking to media during the release of the Paramarsa Yatra poster in Hyderabad on Sunday, the Party Working President for Telangana State, P Srinivasa Reddy said: “Sharmila will begin the Yatra on December 8 from Kalwakurthy assembly segment and will cover 10 constituencies as 18 persons have died in the district on hearing the news of YSR’s demise. The Yatra will be rounded off in the district at Jadcherla.”

Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had already completed the Odarpu Yatra in Khammam district and could not take it forward in the remaining nine districts due to various reasons. Now Sharmila will complete the mission and cover the remaining nine districts of Telangana, he said.

The Yatra will also include consoling the families of those farmers who committed suicide. There were 157 suicides of families due to the faulty priorities of the Government. YSR has a good following in the region as all sections of people have benefitted out o his welfare schemes, he said.

TRS Government has failed in fulfilling the poll promises a fact which was acknowledged by the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao himself.

Brushing aside the contention that the Yatra has political moorings, he said, “there are no elections in near future and no political motives can be attributed to the Yatra. It is only to keep up the promise of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy that he will console all the families that have lost a person on hearing the news of YSR death.”
