Sharmila has become a source of concern for the Congress High Command.
Information from Delhi indicates unilateral decision-making, lack of consultation with senior leaders, arbitrary candidate selections under the guise of surveys, and undisclosed collections.
As Manikkam Tagore, the Congress state affairs in-charge, is preoccupied with the Tamil Nadu elections, Sharmila is acting according to her own whims and fancies.
Reportedly, Manikkam has assured state leaders that he will address her situation after the Tamil Nadu elections.
Leaders like Raghuveera Reddy, Rudra Raju, and Sunkara Padmashri claim to have been ignored by her, leading them to distance themselves from her.
It is also rumored that KVP has informed leaders that there is little he can do.
Congress leaders note that Sharmila pays attention only to leaders coming from YCP but ignoring the seniors within the party.
Sharmila allegedly told a senior leader that they don't have much influence, leaving them frustrated.
Insiders have reportedly informed Rahul Gandhi that Sharmila may not bring significant benefits to the state Congress.
