KCR, who had tolerated YS Sharmila’s continuous diatribes for quite a long time has paid back In kind. One statement by him has now put her on the defensive. After all, KCR is good at giving return gifts. His attack AP on the issue of Rayalaseema lift irrigation project, is actually targeted against YS Rajasekhara Reddy and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. As a party working in Telangana, will she support KCR or YSR? If she supports YSR, she will lose whatever support she has in Telangana. If she criticises YSR, it will be a huge loss of face for her. Her moves will end up demeaning YSR.
She is now caught in a cleft-stick like situation. Sources say that KCR’s attack is actually targeted against Sharmila. He has waited all these days for an opportunity. Now that he has attacked YSR, Sharmila now finds herself in a spot. The lesson for YS Sharmila is – never underestimate KCR.
