‘Indoor action is over. Now, it’s time for serious outdoor action.’ This line from a key functionary working with YS Sharmila sums up the mood in the to-be-born political outfit in Telangana. After completing a session of 50 days involving indoor meetings with leaders and supporters from various districts in Telangana, YS Sharmila is now all set to take a plunge into the outdoor politics.
On April 9, she is all set to make her public appearance and address a gathering in Khammam. Sources close to her say that the name of the party would be revealed and the formal announcement of formation of the party would be made at the Khammam rally. Sharmila has chosen Khammam because there is considerable support for YSRCP in this district. In 2014, the party had won one MP seat and three MLA seats from Khammam district. Similarly, April 9 was chosen because that was the date on which late YSR had started his famous Praja Prasthanam from Chevella. Sharmila is said to be finalizing the nitty gritty of party formation with the party workers and supporters.
Lotus Pond is now buzzing with activity with a lot of second, third and fourth rung leaders coming and meeting Sharmila. The Lotus Pond, which lay dormant all these days, is now a beehive of activity. Some key joining too could happen on April 9, say insiders.
