Overview

• Party president K. Chandrasekhar Rao ordered his daughter’s immediate suspension, with a BRS statement citing her recent behaviour and anti-party activities as damaging to the organisation.
• K. Kavitha alleged that cousins T. Harish Rao and J. Santosh Kumar amassed assets and made KCR a scapegoat in the Kaleshwaram controversy, also naming contractor Megha Krishna Reddy.
• The Telangana government has handed the Kaleshwaram case to the CBI following the PC Ghose Commission’s findings that held former chief minister KCR directly and vicariously accountable for irregularities at the project’s barrages.
• BRS leaders and cadres publicly backed KCR’s action, removing and burning Kavitha’s posters in several towns, while senior leaders framed the move as prioritising the party over family.
• Kavitha’s supporters rallied outside her Hyderabad residence to condemn the suspension, and the episode follows months of internal strain marked by a leaked letter and her removal from a BRS-affiliated union post.
