Vijayamma, Sharmila and Bharathi. The three women in Jaganmohan Reddy’s life are scripting a new political narrative in Andhra Pradesh. INN on the storming of the Congress bastion. It’s a hot and humid afternoon on the highway to Srikakulam. Even so a massive throng has gathered on the outskirts of Visakhapatnam. Most noticeable are the women — they come in all ages and from all socio-economic backgrounds: peasants, domestic workers, government employees, teachers, college students, homemakers. They are all waiting, curious and wide-eyed, for the big padyatra to pass. One 70-year-old widow even thinks its “Indira amma’s (Indira Gandhi’s) granddaughter” who will be leading the march.
