YS Sharmila shouldered the responsibility of the party once Jagan is in jail before the elections. She resumed the Padayatra stopped by her brother and toured about 2000 Kms to make sure the party stays in the people. There were times, even YSRCP leaders and cadre believed Sharmila is better option for the party than tainted Jagan.
However once Jagan is out, Sharmila was mysteriously sidelined. She was not even a chance to contest the elections indicating that Jagan is feeling unsecured with her presence according to media reports. The final nail in the coffin is the Paramarsa Yatra taken up by Sharmila recently. She is touring several districts of Telangana and already completed two phase and is gearing up for third phase this month end.
Forget about normal media, even Sakshi was instructed not to give extensively coverage to the yatra in the name of getting neutral image. Sakshi which used to give hours of coverage to Odarpu Yatra before elections, is restricting the coverage to couple of minutes per day. It looks like it is a ploy to showcase no one really cares about Sharmila and there by ending her political career.
