Is YS Sharmila fast ending up as a joke in Telangana politics? With no one taking her seriously and no leader worth the salt supporting her, she has become almost irrelevant in Telangana politics. Many are comparing her with the KA Paul and her party with the Praja Shanthi Party.
Despite the goodwill for YSR, her party is unable to lift itself up. The party has completely failed to make a mark in Telangana. After the initial euphoria, her party has turned out to be a non-starter. Even her Padayatra has been put on hold and workers and activists have stopped visiting the party office in Lotus Pond.
As of now, there is a triangular fight on cards in Telangana with TRS locking horns with both the Congress and the BJP. Her party, the YSRTP, has failed to make a mark. Even her padayatra and deeksha for the unemployed youths who ended their lives have ended up as a dud.
Political watchers say YS Sharmila’s fate is much similar to evangelist KA Paul. He has formed Praja Santhi Party and contested in the 2019 elections. He himself filed nomination papers quite late and lost badly from Narsapur Lok Sabha constituency. Sources say Sharmila’s fate would be no different from that of KA Paul.
