The party high leadership chose sharmila to lead the APCC in the hopes that she would revitalise the organisation and restore some measure of its lustre. However, the people turned down Sharmila's attempt to make a name for herself in state politics in addition to the congress once more.
For the third straight term, the congress, which had garnered 1.17% of the vote in 2019, was only able to slightly increase its vote share to 1.72%, but it was still unable to win either one assembly or lok sabha seat. Even though sharmila ran a vocal campaign accusing her cousin and YSRCP candidate avinash REDDY' target='_blank' title='y s avinash reddy-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">y s avinash reddy of killing her uncle y s vivekananda reddy five years ago, she was unable to make her debut in national politics by winning the kadapa lok sabha seat.
According to the results of the kadapa lok sabha election, sharmila was ranked third. avinash Reddy received 5,97,101 votes out of the 12,27,302 total votes cast in kadapa, which allowed him to win the seat. Ch Bhupesh reddy, the tdp candidate, received 5,37,611 votes.
Sharmila forfeited her deposit and received only 1,35,730 votes, as her brother had predicted in a televised interview. Thus, she did not benefit personally from the elections.

But according to other accounts, the congress ruined the YSRCP's chances in a number of seats, especially in the rayalaseema area, by using Sharmila's defamatory campaign against her brother.
Even while her campaign did not result in any more votes for the congress, it did cause some pro-Jagan votes to be diverted to the tdp rather than the Congress.
According to reports, "her campaign caused Christians, Muslims, and weaker sections to tilt towards the tdp in many constituencies."
