Sharmila brimming with confidence

March 25, 2013: Hundred days have passed since Smt. Y.S. Sharmila began her Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra from Idupulapaya in YSR district on Oct 18, 2012 on behalf of the YSR Congress Party chief Sri Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. But, even after completing a distance of 1375.4 km in the last 100 days, one will still find in her a hundred times of the day-one enthusiasm and energy to lead the Padayatra further to reach the stated 3000-km mark.

Smt. Sharmila, who has addressed countless public meetings and interacted with people at her innumerable Rachchabanda programmes as she walked through a string of villages and hamlets during the course of the Padayatra,  looks determined and vibrant to go ahead with her walkathon despite the threat of simmering heat hanging over her head. Sharmila has so far visited 750 villages in 43 assembly constituencies of seven districts.

During her Padayatra, people were thrilled to see her and shake hands with her as she walked in their villages. They were enthused to get promises on the implementation of YSR welfare schemes as she addressed them at roadside and impromptu public meetings. Across the length and breadth of the Padayatra in YSR, Anantapur, Kurnool, Mahabubnagar, Ranga Reddy and Guntur districts, she rekindled the confidence of the people as she tried to inject a sense of hope about their future. 

Despite the recent key-hole surgery to her leg and the occasional pain it has been giving, Smt. Sharmila is keeping up the walking schedules and is still brimming with confidence to go ahead in her mission of exposing the Congress-TDP conspiracy and the CBI’s delaying tactics in filing the final charge sheet in Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy case.

Smt. Sharmila will enter the Krishna district on Tuesday after completing her Padayatra in Guntur district.
