Time was when Christmas was a gala affair in the YSRCP family. During the YSR era, Christmas was a time of celebration and festivity in the family. The whole family used to get together and enjoy the festival. But not anymore! Today, the family is divided. The celebrations are muted.
This year's Christmas must be the most subdued festival in recent times for the YSR family. The whole family offered tributes to the late YSR at his Samadhi in Idupulapaya but separately. On Thursday, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy came and offered his prayers. Later YS Sharmila and YS Vijayamma offered prayers separately. They spent some time at the YSR ghat and then left the place.
In the Idupulapaya church too, there were no common prayers. First Jagan came, prayed and went. Later, Vijayamma came and prayed. Jagan, it appears, is keeping both mother and sister at arm's length. The guesthouse has not been lighted up the way it used to be earlier.
