It is demonic rule in state: Sharmila

In a scathing attack on
Kiran Kumar Reddy Government, Sharmila alleged on Saturday that the people are
being ruled by a demonic regime in the state.

Sharmila, who is doing
Maro Praja Prastanam Padayatra on behalf of YSRCP chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy,
made the comment at Rathana in Kurnool district when scores of aged people met her to complain they are
not getting their old age pensions regularly.

When Sharmila’s
Padayatra reached Rathana as part of her 3000-km walkathon on the 24^th
day, hundreds of local women met her and listed out their problems.

The women, most of them
being the aged, told her there are neither pensions to them nor regular power
supply to their houses and requested Sharmila to take steps to ensure monthly
pensions for them.

A moved Sharmila told
them that the people are experiencing demonic rule in the state at present and
assured to provide Rajanna Rajyam under the leadership of Y. S. Jagan Mohan
Reddy when YSRCP attains power. “All your problems will be solved during the
Rajanna Rajyam,” she told them.

Earlier, local farmers
and students met Sharmila at Tuggali when she began her Padayatra from there
for the day. Narrating their suffering, farmers told her they are not in a
position to irrigate their lands as there is no water.

“We don’t have drinking
water either. In the name of 25 paisa interest, they are collecting Re.2
interest. All our crops have dried up as there is no power supply,” they told
her. Sharmila also patiently listened to students who said they don’t have bath
rooms in their school.
