Taking her animosity towards her brother and YSR Congress party president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy a step further, Andhra Pradesh Congress president Y S Sharmila on Tuesday alleged that it was Jagan who was behind posting of vulgar messages and pictures on social media by his team.
Speaking to reporters, Sharmila alleged that Jagan had been patronising a Satan army of social media activists who were indulging in character assassination of political rivals and she was also one of their victims.
“It was Jagan who instigated posting of abusive, obscene and dirty comments against me, my mother Vijayamma and cousin Sunitha. If he had connection, why didn’t he stop such posts on social media? It clearly shows that these social media activists have done it with full knowledge of Jagan,” she said.
Stating that such posts were intolerable, Sharmila regretted that Jagan’s social media team had even commented on her character and attributed illegal affairs to her.
“If they have guts, they should come out before me and speak against me. How can they post such vulgar comments on me?” she asked.
The Congress leader defended the police action against such social media activists who had crossed line of decency.
“Not just these venomous serpents, the police should catch anacondas behind them, whether it is Jagan or Avinash Reddy. They should arrest them and throw them behind bars,” she said.
Sharmila alleged that Jagan had misused the police machinery when he was in power.
“Now, it is ridiculous that he is threatening them. He is day-dreaming of returning to power. He did not lose his arrogance. The police should do impartial inquiry against such people,” she said.
