According to TDP politburo member Varla Ramaiah, YS Sharmila's recent comments about not assassinating the character of her late uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy were directed at CM Jagan Mohan Reddy. Although Sharmila did not mention Jagan by name, Ramaiah claimed that the remarks were aimed at him. He further alleged that Jagan, who he claimed cannot value his own family, is incapable of respecting the Constitution. In addition to this, Ramaiah criticized Jagan's remarks about former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, in which he allegedly referred to him as an old person. Ramaiah praised TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu as a ferocious lion and labeled Jagan a frustrated person. Ramaiah also challenged Jagan to compete with Naidu in climbing the steps of Lord Venkateswara Swamy in Tirumala.
