Andhra Pradesh Congress President Sharmila is concerned about her political future, which is why she is criticizing Jagan.
If Jagan becomes a member of the I.N.D.IA alliance, Sharmila is haunted by concerns about her own future. This has led AP party leaders to accuse her of being willing to jeopardize the future of Congress for her own benefit.
Sharmila has been vocally critical of the erstwhile YCP government in AP.
Recently, she once again lashed out at her brother Jagan on social media. Jagan said that Congress did not attend the Delhi dharna because of Rahul Gandhi's connection with Chandrababu Naidu. Sharmila seized upon this point to criticize Jagan, a move that many expected from her.
Sharmila questioned why Congress should show solidarity with Jagan's dharna. She argued that Jagan's dharna in Delhi was motivated by political survival and accused him of having an illicit relationship with the BJP for five years.
"Should we show solidarity with a party that has jeopardized the rights of bifurcation and special status to AP?" she asked.
However, it is noteworthy that she did not respond to Jagan's criticism regarding Rahul Gandhi's alleged close relations with Chandrababu.
Sharmila stated that people have decided not to identify Jagan as YSR's legacy. She advised her brother to change his ways, suggesting that all these criticisms are part of her own political strategy.
If Jagan becomes a key member of the I.N.D.I.A alliance, Sharmila seems uncertain about her own political path. Many believe that if the situation arises Sharmila would not hesitate to join the TDP as well.
