The YSR Congress leader Sharmila had a smooth run with her Padayatra ‘Maro Praja Prasthanam’ for a long time but she had a taste of the opposite when she visited the Palamur area recently. The stone pelting incident from the students of Palamur University and their demand of YSR Congress’s stand on Telangana issue was a wakeup call.
