YSR Congress party's honorary president Y S Vijayamma's grandmother Somamma passed away on Sunday morning.
She was 96-years-old at the time of her death, and her health had been failing due to her age. She died at the residence of Kadapa ex-Mayor Ravindranath Reddy. On receiving information about her death, Vijayamma left for Kadapa after ending a fast that she had undertaken along with other YSRCP legislators over the energy crisis.
Sharmila too took a break from her "Maro Praja Prasthanam" padayatra, and left for Kadapa from Jonnalapadu in Krishna district to join her mother. She is likely to resume her padayatra on 9 April. (INN)
