After months of utter quietitude, there seems to be some activity on the YSRTP front. For months, there was no activity in Lotus Pond and Sharmila did not even stir out of the comfort of her home. The state-wide yatra was drawing no crowds and was unable to create a buzz. So, Sharmila too halted her yatra. Now, at long last, there is some activity.
There are some joining in the party. Maheswaram assembly constituency TRS vice-president Edma Mohan Reddy has joined the YSRCP. Similarly, Malakpe BJP trader cell leader Naveen Rao and another leader Ravikumar have joined Sharmila's party. Sharmila herself invited them into the party.
But the big question is what is the standing of these leaders in the public? How popular they are? Will they be able to influence the voters? Sources say these are small leaders of no consequence and that their joining will not have any impact. The real indication of popularity is when big names join the party.
Though Sharmila has been staging protests, holding fasts and taking out padayatra, the impact seems to be nothing. Many of the party leaders have already resigned from the party or have become inactive. Given this, how impactful the present joining would be? Will they add to Sharmila's strength in any way? Let's wait and see.
