Jagan Reddy's sister spends night in Congress office fearing 'house arrest'

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy's sister YS Sharmila has accused him of attempting to put her on house arrest. Sharmila said she spent the night at the Congress party office in Vijayawada to prevent the action.

In a viral video, Sharmila can be seen lying on a cot on the floor of the party office.

She wrote in a post on X, "If we call for protest on behalf of the unemployed, will you try to keep us under house arrest? Don't we have the right to protest in a democracy? Is it not shameful that as a woman I have been forced to evade the police and spend the night in the Congress Party office to avoid house arrest?"

The video surfaced a day after Sharmila led Congress workers in a 'Chalo Secretariat' protest. The Congress has accused the Jagan Reddy-government of failed to address concerns of youth, unemployed and students.
