Sharmila meets Kharge, discusses plans to strengthen party in Andhra Pradesh. In a post on ‘X’, the APCC chief said the leadership promised full support to the party in becoming people’s voice in the State.
After meeting party’s senior leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi at their residence in New Delhi on June 17 (Monday), Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila said “a very constructive discussion was held on future plans and the party’s next course of action.”
Taking to the social media platform ‘X’, Ms. Sharmila said that the Congress party would regain its lost glory in the State and strengthen itself into a formidable force in the days to come.
On June 18 (Tuesday), she met Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal in New Delhi, and apprised them of the roadmap and about her plans to strengthen the party in Andhra Pradesh.
“They assured us of their full support and expressed the confidence that very soon the party will assume greater strength and significance, and will become people’s voice in Andhra Pradesh,” she said.

Senior CPI(M) leader A.K. Balan, who was removed from the party central committee at the 24th Party Congress in Madurai late last week in accordance with the age cap of 75 years for party positions, made a poignantly reflective Facebook post on Saturday, recalling his early years in the party and also stating, figuratively, that he is on the verge of yet another eviction – from the AKG Flat this time.
