YSR's Daughter Sharmila Poised for Political Prominence as Congress Eyes Strategic Alliance
- Sharmila, daughter of former Andhra CM YSR Reddy, is likely to gain prominence in politics after floating her own party YSRTP.
- Her party failed to gain significance in Telangana, so she supported Congress in recent elections.
- Congress is now focused on elevating Sharmila's status, potentially sending her to Rajya Sabha from Karnataka.
- There is buzz that Congress may strategically use Sharmila to campaign in Andhra Pradesh elections.
- AP Congress chief recently suggested Sharmila could be given a leadership role, but unclear if she'll enter Rajya Sabha or just campaign.
