Overview

  • BRS suspended Kavitha for alleged anti-party activities after she publicly named T. Harish Rao and J. Santosh Kumar in the Kaleshwaram controversy.
  • She also alleged collusion with Megha Engineering’s PV Krishna Reddy and said her father KCR was being made a scapegoat, claims that have not been adjudicated.
  • Following the suspension, party workers removed her images from Telangana Bhavan and some burned her posters in districts such as Suryapet and Siddipet.
  • The Congress-led Telangana government has handed the Kaleshwaram probe to the CBI based on Justice P.C. Ghose Commission findings, escalating legal pressure on the former administration.
  • Kavitha says she will not join another party for now and claims pressure was put on KCR to act against her, as Congress and BJP leaders call for impartial probes into the allegations.
