YS Sharmila has become one of the most vocal critics of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, repeatedly challenging his governance and questioning his reluctance to actively participate in Assembly proceedings. Recently, she took another dig at Jagan after he attended the Andhra Pradesh Assembly for just 11 minutes, seemingly just to mark his attendance and avoid potential disqualification.Sharmila has been relentless in exposing what she sees as the hypocrisy of Jagan’s approach. She took to social media and addressed the issue directly, asking why Jagan chose to make such a brief appearance instead of engaging in discussions on the pressing concerns of the state.
 

“YSRCP president Jagan Garu has not changed his approach one bit. Did he come to the Assembly just to spend 11 minutes with 11 MLAs? Is the opposition status more important to you than the issues of the people? Did you attend only out of fear that your membership would be canceled?” she questioned.Her statements quickly gained traction, with political observers noting that she has successfully brought attention to Jagan’s lack of engagement in the Assembly. Sharmila further criticized him by stating that he has once again proved that positions matter more to him than public welfare.
 

Sharmila has been consistently targeting Jagan for his approach to governance, and her latest criticism has only deepened the existing political tension between the two. She demanded that YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders attend Assembly sessions regularly and take part in meaningful debates rather than making token appearances.“If YSRCP members truly don’t care about positions and are genuinely concerned about public issues, we urge you to attend the Assembly from Tuesday onwards. If you don’t have the courage to attend the sessions, we once again demand that you resign from your positions immediately,” she stated, directly challenging Jagan and his party members.
 

Jagan’s Assembly attendance has long been a contentious issue, with opposition parties and even some within his own circles questioning his reluctance to engage in direct discussions on governance. His latest appearance, where he reportedly spent only 11 minutes in the Assembly with 11 MLAs before leaving, has further fueled speculation that he attended merely to avoid procedural disqualification rather than to address the concerns of Andhra Pradesh’s citizens.Political analysts believe that Sharmila’s continued criticism of Jagan is shaping public perception and adding to the discourse about leadership and accountability in Andhra Pradesh. Her statements resonate with those who feel that the ruling party has become more focused on retaining power than addressing pressing state issues.
 

With elections on the horizon, the political rivalry between Sharmila and Jagan is expected to intensify. Sharmila’s attacks are increasingly positioning her as a leader who is unafraid to question her brother’s governance, making her a key player in the shifting dynamics of Andhra Pradesh politics. Whether this latest controversy will push Jagan to take a more active role in Assembly discussions remains to be seen, but for now, Sharmila’s critique has successfully drawn attention to the issue.
