Shyamala counters Chiranjeevi’s ‘Heir’ remark

HYDERABAD, February 12: YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Shyamala has responded strongly to actor-politician Chiranjeevi’s recent remarks about successors. She questioned whether succession is limited to sons, pointing out that daughters, too, can carry forward a family’s legacy.

Shyamala’s statement comes amid ongoing political debates in Andhra Pradesh. She criticised Chiranjeevi’s perspective, suggesting that such views undermine women’s contributions and capabilities in leadership and succession.

The exchange has sparked discussions in political and social circles, particularly regarding gender roles in inheritance and leadership. Further reactions from both parties are expected in the coming days.
