The meeting comes amidst rumours of Sharmila moving away from the shadows of her brother, who is the founder and president of YSR Congress Party.
YS Rajasekhara Reddy's daughter YS Sharmila could launch her own party soon in Telangana, due to differences with family over her political aspirations.
As per The News Minute, the move comes owing to differences with family over Sharmila's political aspirations. She is known to have played a key role in Reddy's rise to power in the state of Andhra Pradesh with the victory in 2019 Assembly elections.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, a senior YSRC leader said that Sharmila has called 30-35 close confidants at her residence in Lotus Pond for the meeting on February 9.
