Sharmila’s husband, Anil Kumar is an evangelist in Andhra Pradesh. TDP has criticised YS Sharmila and Brother Anil Kumar on the personal issues. Anil Kumar has become much popular during the reign of YS Rajasekhar Reddy. Sharmila has taken up Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra to counter the Yatras of TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu and Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy.
Sharmila’s Padayatra began from Idupulapaya and continued till Itchapuram in Srikakulam district in the first phase. She is likely to become much active in the state politics in the coming days given her family background and need of the YSR Congress Party.
