The YS Reddy political empire is fracturing along familial lines, with YS Vijayalakshmi—affectionately known as Vijayamma—delivering a scathing indictment of son YS Jagan Mohan Reddy over alleged property injustices to daughter YS Sharmila.
In a detailed, notarized clarification issued Friday, the family elder dismantled YSRCP narratives of a settled asset split. ‘No formal partition exists,’ she declared, rejecting party claims as ‘misleading’ and detached from truth. The ongoing NCLT litigation lays bare the contested billions in assets.
Tracing history, Vijayamma noted all properties stood as joint family wealth through 2009, untouched post-Rajasekhara Reddy’s demise. An MoU sketched for future division? A non-binding ghost, unregistered and invalid, she clarified.
Echoing her husband’s vision of equitable grandkids’ shares, she highlighted Sharmila’s entitlements: Saraswati Cement, Yelahanka acreage—assets listed but dwarfed by her true portion. Dividends disbursed don’t equate to equity, Vijayamma emphasized.
Party mouthpiece Rammallu Shivaprasad Reddy decried the statement as ‘painful,’ insisting pre-2009 partition with Jagan’s extra generosity to Sharmila, formalized in a 2019 MoU rescinded amid legal hurdles. ‘Resolve in family or court, not headlines,’ he pleaded.
This clash not only tests Reddy loyalties but spotlights inheritance battles in Indian politics. With NCLT as referee, the saga could reshape alliances ahead of future elections. Vijayamma’s plea for justice hangs heavy—will blood prove thicker than legacy assets?
