Former Member of Parliament Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, who recently joined the Congress party in the presence of Rahul Gandhi, held a meeting with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Reddy at the Tadepalli camp office. This encounter has triggered speculation due to the political dynamics of the leaders involved. Media sources indicate that Ponguleti and CM Jagan discussed the potential entry of YS Sharmila into the Congress party. There have been reports in the media suggesting that YS Sharmila, leader of the YSRTP party, may join the Congress and merge her party with it, along with the Karnataka Congress leader DK Shivakumar. Congress insiders have revealed that YS Sharmila is expected to officially join the Congress on July 8th, coinciding with the birth anniversary of her late father, YS Rajasekhar Reddy. However, there has been no official confirmation on this matter, as YS Sharmila, the YSRTP party, and Congress sources have remained tight-lipped.
