The state president of the Congress YS Sharmila, sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

YS Sharmila unites YSRTP with Congress and takes helm as Congress President in Andhra Pradesh
Gidugu Rudra Raju’s resignation as the Andhra Pradesh Congress President coincided with the appointment. Rudra Raju has been invited as a special guest to the Congress Working Committee as of late. In a calculated decision, Sharmila refrained from running in the Telangana Assembly elections in order to prevent votes from being split in favor of K Chandrashekar Rao, the state’s previous chief minister.
A major political shift occurred when Sharmila decided to back the Congress in the Telangana Assembly elections. Rahul Gandhi saw her recent YSRTP-Congress merger in Delhi, which signaled her significant ascent to the Congress leadership in Andhra Pradesh.
According to insiders, Rudra Raju foresaw that Congress will likely choose to name Sharmila as the head of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), which could lead to a political battle with her brother, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Sharmila expressed her joy at the merger and her new position, praising Congress as the biggest and “most secular” party in India. She is the daughter of former undivided Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy.
