Rachamallu Siva Prasad Reddy, a former MLA from the YSR Congress Party, has strongly criticized Y. S. Sharmila for her remarks against her brother Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Reacting to Sharmila calling Jagan a “blot” on the word ‘brother,’ Rachamallu questioned the need to air personal disputes in public. He argued that family matters should have been resolved privately instead of being brought into the open at places like Pulivendula.
He further defended Jagan, stating that agreeing to an equal share of family property reflects his intent. In a controversial remark, Rachamallu even claimed that Y. S. Bharathi is “a thousand times greater” for allegedly supporting such a decision, suggesting that such gestures are uncommon in traditional family setups.
However, this argument has drawn criticism, as property rights for daughters are constitutionally guaranteed, and not a matter of generosity. Observers point out that such statements may be politically motivated, possibly aimed at staying in the good books of both Jagan and Bharathi, while also reflecting the latter’s influence within the party.
At the same time, the dispute between Jagan and Sharmila remains a deeply personal issue. Many believe that only their mother, Y. S. Vijayamma, is in a position to fairly assess the situation. Notably, Vijayamma has openly supported Sharmila in this matter, alleging that injustice was done to her and her children.
Ultimately, while political leaders continue to weigh in, the public appears to understand that this is a private family matter, and external opinions may carry limited significance.
