NEW DELHI: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President YS Sharmila has accused brother and YSRCP supremo YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of encouraging indecent posts against her and her family members on social media. During a press conference on Tuesday, Sharmila condemned the online vitriol, claiming it would cease if Reddy took action to stop it.
In a strong statement at Andhra Ratna Bhavan in Vijayawada, Sharmila said, "They (social media activists) spoke as they liked, about me, Sunitha (late YS Vivekananda Reddy's daughter) and mother (YS Vijayamma). Jagan Mohan Reddy himself told them to make those indecent posts."
Sharmila went on to describe these social media activists as a "satanic army" and called for regulation and stronger action against the virtual medium. While some activists have been arrested, she insisted that the masterminds behind the attacks should be identified and punished severely.
The Congress leader also weighed in on the state budget of Rs 2.94 lakh crore, presented on Monday. Sharmila dismissed it as deceptive, saying, "People do not have clarity whether this is a budget or a manifesto. They repeated the statements made during the polls. Budget means allocations, but this is a budget without an allocation."
She further criticized chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu for failing to allocate the required funds for the 'Super Six' poll promises made by the TDP-led NDA, including financial support for women, youth, and farmers. According to Sharmila, Rs 1.2 lakh crore is necessary annually to fulfill these promises, but the current budget allocates a fraction of that amount.
In her criticism of Jagan Mohan Reddy’s absence from the assembly, Sharmila asked, "Don't you (Jagan) have respect for people's verdict in the elections? Boycotting assembly is an illustration of arrogance. You have to answer." She emphasized that people did not vote for YSRCP MLAs to remain inactive.
Sharmila addressed a letter to YSRCP MLAs, urging them to enter the assembly as independent candidates and fulfill their legislative duties.
