Sharmila striving to unite Opposition parties in Telangana

Though she is too young and highly inexperienced in politics, it appears YSR Telangana Party chief Y S Sharmila has the courage to accept the truth.

And the truth is that opposition parties will not survive in Telangana if they do not unite against the BRS.

With this clear understanding, Sharmila on Monday met Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) chief Prof. M. Kodandaram at the latter’s office and urged him to be a part of T-SAVE forum.

It may be recalled Sharmila had separate talks with BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar and Telangana Congress Committee chief Revanth Reddy on Saturday in this connection.

During her telephonic conversations with the two opposition party leaders, Sharmila sought their cooperation in fighting the unemployment problem plaguing the state.

She proposed that a concerted strategy is necessary to achieve this goal.

Opposition unity is crucial to defeat K Chandrasekhar Rao, she told them.

“… opposition parties will not survive in Telangana if they do not unite against the BRS,” she added.

Both the Opposition party leaders have responded positively to Sharmila’s overture.

YSRTP sources said that Bandi Sanjay has assured full cooperation in the matter of unemployment and agreed to meet Sharmila in the near future to discuss the issue. While Congress leader Revanth Reddy said that the time has come for opposition parties to join hands, he reportedly told her that a decision will be taken after due discussion within the Congress party.
