It is becoming increasingly clear that YS Sharmila is no pushover politically. She seems to have a mind of her own and a plan for Telangana. She seems to have understood the Telangana psyche very well. She has clearly understood that the Telangana people are highly sentimental and sentiment plays a key role in their decisions, unlike the Andhraites, who are cool and calculated.
Her understanding of Telangana’s sentimental attitude is reflected in her party flag. The party flag has the image of Pala Pitta. Known in English as Blue Jay or Indian Roller, Palapitta has great sentimental value for Telanganaites. The sighting of the bird is a very important part of the Dasara ritual. So, the colour of 80 per cent of the flag will be in Palapitta’s cover, while the remaining 20 per cent will be in blue colour. The party flag would be unveiled on July 8 on the occasion of the birth anniversary of YSR.
The flag will have a pic of YSR in the Telangana state’s outline. She has been cleverly trying to revive the memories of late YSR and his love for Telangana. She feels that this will help her in garnering Telangana sentiment. On YSR”s birth anniversary, her party workers will garland the statues of YSR across Telangana.
