YS. Sharmila shot to fame when she entered politics after her brother YS.Jagan was arrested and sent packing to Chanchalguda jail on corruption charges. YS. Sharmila played a key role in keeping the sympathy wave intact for her brother YS.Jagan and it played a major role in her brother Jagan coming to power in Andhra Pradesh. She took pride in herself as Jagannanna Banam (Arrow).
However she was sidelined completely in an insulting manner and Sharmila who decided that she had had enough of it, entered Telangana politics. Many rumors spread over Sharmila's entry. Some said Jagan and Sharmila came to an understanding that he will take care of Andhra Pradesh and she would take care of Telangana and thus entire Andhra Pradesh will be under the clutches of the YSR family. Some rumors spread that BJP and MP Modi propelled Sharmila into Telangana politics.
Sharmila of late is going hammer and tongs on KCR and going on a padayatra. However no one bothered about her yatra until CM KCR and his government took a shocking decision to arrest her and tow her car along with her. This shocked all and Sharmila got national attention. Now PM Modi questioned Jagan why he did not react to his sister Sharmila's arrest and even invited her to Delhi.
This is making people wonder whether Sharmila, who became an aimless arrow is getting directed or misdirectd by various external forces rather than taking her own decision.
