It may be recalled YSR Telangana Party founder YS Sharmila had merged her party with the Congress and did not contest Assembly elections in Telangana. After joining the Congress, YS Sharmila took charge as the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president at Vijayawada on Sunday.

With the Congress winning the elections in Telangana and Karnataka, now the All India Congress Committee is keen on gaining as many seats as possible in Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh. Special focus is being laid on the Lok Sabha elections and the party is keen on increasing its tally in South India.
