Y.S. Sharmila, sister of the YSR Congress President Y.S.

Rajasekhara Reddy in the chopper crash in 2009.

She was accompanied by Khammam MP Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and the party's General Secretary of the Telangana State Committee K. Shivakumar. She is expected to visit the houses of atleast 32 families who lost a key member. It will begin at Devarakonda and end at Suryapet.

On Wednesday, she left in a convoy of over a dozen vehicles and on Day One of the second phase of her yatra she is scheduled to cover Madanapuram, Devaracharla Thanda and Guvvalagutta villages in Devarakonda Constituency. In the Phase II that will last till January 30, she will cover 6 Assembly and 2 Lok Sabha constituencies.

She had started the yatra in December last and visited 15 families across Mahbubnagar district, much on the lines of her brother Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's 'Odarpu Yatra'. The objective was to instill confidence among families who had lost a member and communicate the message that the party would stand by them.
