Noting that she was looking forward to working closely with each and every Congress foot soldier, she sought the support of Gidugu Rudraraju who resigned as APCC chief to enable her to take over the post.
Sharmila, the daughter of former CM Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, was appointed as the new president of the Andhra Pradesh state unit on Tuesday. The sister of Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, Sharmila had joined the Congress on January 4 in Delhi in the presence of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. Sharmila had announced the merger of her party YSR Telangana Party with the Congress and said she would fulfil any responsibility given to her.
