Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has publicly criticized YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, accusing him of being "like Kansa Mama" and failing as an elder brother amid a family dispute over the wedding venue for Sharmila's daughter, YS Anjili Reddy, scheduled for November 25.12568910
The wedding, which has garnered significant attention, is set to take place at Yelahanka Palace in Bengaluru, a property that has become contentious due to security concerns raised by Reddy. Naidu argued that the objections are unfounded, stating, "The people surrounding him made up a story about security", and pointed out that Reddy's father, YS Rajasekhara Reddy, hosted weddings at the same venue despite facing greater threats.411
Naidu emphasized that family relationships should not be sacrificed over property disputes, stating, "He has failed as Chief Minister, party leader, son, brother and even as a citizen". The disagreement highlights the rift within the family, as Sharmila has reportedly tried to persuade her brother to allow the wedding at the family home, but to no avail.
In a letter to Sharmila, Reddy welcomed the wedding news but reiterated his concerns about the large number of guests expected, stating, "A wedding would bring a large number of people onto the property". He also offered her the use of his Lotus Pond property in Hyderabad as an alternative venue.
The wedding is expected to attract numerous high-profile guests, including Chief Ministers from neighboring states and prominent political figures.
“Jagan Reddy cited security risks for the planned November 25 wedding at Yelahanka Palace, offering his Lotus Pond property in Hyderabad instead. The dispute also involves about 20 acres of the estate and shares in Saraswati Power, with proceedings pending before the NCLT.”
