Overview
- The ruling Congress wrested the Jubilee Hills Assembly seat from the BRS in a by-election held after MLA Maganti Gopinath’s death.
- K. Kavitha posted 'karma hits back' on X moments after the result, following her exit from the BRS earlier this year.
- Her cryptic post is widely read as a veiled swipe at working president K. T. Rama Rao, signaling deepening internal strain.
- Kavitha was suspended in September after accusing cousins T. Harish Rao and J. Santosh Kumar of corruption, and she then quit the party and the Legislative Council.
- Now leading Telangana Jagruthi, she is on a four-month padyatra and has ruled out returning to the BRS for the present.
