Hyderabad: Telangana Jagruti president K. Kavitha’s recent remarks targeting senior Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders have triggered strong internal pushback, escalating tensions within the party.
During her ongoing “Jagruti Janam Bata” programmes, Kavitha has publicly accused several BRS MLAs of irregularities, including serious allegations against former minister Mallareddy and Kukatpally MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao. Her comments have intensified the intra-party rift, drawing sharp counterattacks from key BRS figures.
BRS MLAs hit back, accuse Kavitha of political sabotage
Madhavaram Krishna Rao rejected the land-related allegations outright, accusing Kavitha of attempting to damage the party’s image. He further alleged that she was working in coordination with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to politically isolate BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao and senior leader T. Harish Rao.
The public fallout comes amid Kavitha’s increasing criticism of her own party’s decade-long governance record. Her allegations of corruption have put the BRS leadership on the defensive, with senior leaders struggling to contain the narrative.
Kavitha’s distancing from her father and party founder K. Chandrashekar Rao has further fuelled speculation about a deepening factional split within the organisation.
As verbal exchanges intensify, the rift has evolved into a high-stakes political battle within the pink party, injecting fresh volatility into Telangana’s post-election political scene.
