Sharmila waging lone battle, Mother quits Jagan to side with daughter

In a far reaching political move, a mother left CM son's party and decided to take the side of daughter Sharmila. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's mother Y S Vijayamma on Friday resigned as honorary president of YSR Congress party to stand by her daughter Sharmila, who is now heading the YSR Telangana party in the neighbouring state."As a mother, I will always be close to Jagan," Vijayamma maintained, announcing her decision to quit the YSRC, at the party plenary that began near Guntoor.."Sharmila is waging a lone battle in Telangana, to carry forward her father's ideals. I have to support her. I was in a dilemma whether I could be a member of two political parties (in two states). It is difficult for me to continue as honorary president of YSRC, Vijayamma said. "I never imagined such a situation would ever arise. I don't know why it happened, but I feel it is a decision of God," she remarked.

As per media report, for some time now there have been reports that all is not well between Jagan Mohan Reddy and his sister over property related issues. The acrimony between the two had escalated in recent times and Vijayamma has been staying away from her son. Vijayamma is seen reading out a speech which has been prepared by the party and obviously approved by the Chief Minister. It is no secret that YSR Congress prepares all speeches of Vijayamma right from the day she came into active politics says report.
