Issues clarification

“It has been included that Jagan Mohan Reddy gave a loan to me. For the sake of clarification, in society, any brother should give away his sister’s share in the property, because that is her right. It is the responsibility of the brother.

“There are some people who will give a pittance (of the rightful share) to the sister and show it as a loan. All our family members know about it,” she had told media people when asked about her affidavit.

The affidavit says that she owns total assets worth nearly ₹133 crore, and her husband Anil Kumar owns assets worth ₹49 crore.

Sharmila’s husband Anil Kumar also owes nearly ₹30 crore to his wife, according to the affidavit.

The Congress leader has declared ₹97 lakh as her income for the assessment year 2023-24.
