Sharmila breaks Mamata’s Padayatra record
Mahabubnagar, Nov 27, 2012: YSR Congress Party senior leader Dr. M. V. Mysura Reddy said that Sharmila’s name would go into history as she broke the record of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Padayatra.
Mysura Reddy, who accompanied Sharmila throughout her Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra in Mahabubnagar district on Monday, told reporters that Mamata Banerjee had walked for 250 km through her Padayatra in the past. “Now, that record was broken by Sharmila. History will remember Sharmila as the first woman who has already completed a distance of 500 km in her Padayatra,” he said.
Mysura said people are following Sharmila through her Padayatra as they have been attracted towards the welfare programmes implemented by YSR.
Meanwhile, at the end of 40th day on Monday, Sharmila completed a distance of 539.10 km in her Maro Praja Prasthanam which she began on Oct 18 from Idupulapaya in YSR district.
