Key point: Siblings set to clash over YSR legacy

The election to Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency has turned into a sibling rivalry with YSRCP president and chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and his sister YS Sharmila, who is the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president, fighting to claim the legacy of their father and former chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy.

While YSRCP has renominated YS Avinash Reddy from Kadapa LS seat, Congress has named Sharmila from the constituency. Pulivendula assembly segment, from where Jagan is contesting for the state assembly, is one of the segments under Kadapa LS constituency. In other words, it’s going to be a direct fight for YSR’s legacy between Jagan and Sharmila.

Kadapa parliamentary constituency has remained a stronghold of the YSR family for 35 years since 1989.
