YS Sharmila, the leader of the Congress party in Andhra Pradesh, says she's not allowed to leave her house in Vijayawada.
She's confused why and is asking the Chief Minister why she's being kept inside.
She also wants the government to finish a big water project, the Polavaram Project, as it was originally planned and to help the people who lost their land for it.
She feels it's unfair that the project size might be reduced and that people haven't gotten the help they were promised after giving up their land for the project.
