YS Sharmila, the founder and president of the YSR Telangana Party, is scheduled to join the Congress on January 4. AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge has invited her to Delhi to complete the necessary formalities. Before joining the party, Sharmila intends to visit Idupulapaya to place her son’s wedding invite on her father’s mausoleum.
The Congress party has yet to decide whether to make Sharmila the president of the party’s State unit or accommodate her in the AICC. Sources indicate that Rahul Gandhi is interested in appointing her as the head of the State unit. An official announcement regarding Sharmila’s joining the Congress is expected today after her visit to Idupulapaya.

She will travel to New Delhi with senior members of her party, and the official announcement of the merger will be made from there. Sharmila has not yet determined the position she will hold in the Congress after the merger.
