Congress dissidents seek change in state leadership

Vijayawada: The state Congress leaders criticised PCC president Y S Sharmila for neglecting the party workers and candidates in the just concluded general elections to the assembly.
They blamed her for not campaigning for candidates and not giving party funds for them.
The dissident leaders met at the party office in Vijayawada on Thursday and held a review of the elections.
Speaking on behalf of all leaders, APCC working president Sunkara Padmasree alleged that Sharmila sold party tickets during the elections. She also alleged that Sharmila did not give funds to the party candidates.
Sharmila did not campaign for the party candidates in the state, she said and added that Sharmila confined to Kadapa district. She did not act as the APCC president, Padmasree said. She also alleged that Sharmila took money from the party candidates in several constituencies. However, that money was not distributed to the candidates for electioneering, she said.
Padmasree said that they remained silent when Sharmila was appointed as the APCC president, because they have respect for Rahul Gandhi. However, Sharmila had destroyed the Congress in just a few months.
They demanded that Sharmila should resign and allow the party leadership to appoint a new person as APCC president.
