Andhra Pradesh Congress President and Kadapa Lok Sabha candidate YS Sharmila sent a radio message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to heed the "Mann Ki Baat" of the state's people.
YS Sharmila said, "You are not eligible to enter the state until you apologize to the people of Andhra Pradesh...You have been deceiving the state for ten years, showing hypocritical affection during elections but neglecting development."
"We are presenting a charge sheet on behalf of the people of Andhra Pradesh. If you dare, write an affidavit promising to fulfill the commitments made to the people of Andhra Pradesh now," she said.

Sharmila accused Modi of insincerity towards Andhra Pradesh, labeling his recent visits as politically motivated gestures due to the concurrent Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. She presented a radio as a gift to the PM, urging him to listen to the voice of the Telugu people in the state.
She raised concerns about the delayed development of the Amaravati capital city, despite its foundation being laid by Modi a decade ago. Additionally, she highlighted the failure to fulfill promises made during the state's bifurcation, such as the establishment of the Visakhapatnam railway zone.
Challenging him to honour promises made to the state, she called for an affidavit ensuring their fulfillment and also posed a series of questions.
Modi's active participation in four election-related events in Andhra Pradesh within a week, following two consecutive meetings on May 6, has drawn attention.
