Overview

• Kavitha announced she is quitting the party and her Legislative Council seat a day after her suspension, alleging a conspiracy by a section of BRS leaders and saying there was pressure on KCR to act against her.
• She accused cousins T. Harish Rao and J. Santosh Kumar of amassing wealth and colluding with contractor Megha Krishna Reddy, blaming them for the taint on KCR and asserting that KTR did not back her during attacks.
• The BRS said her recent conduct and anti-party activity were damaging the organisation, after which party workers removed her images and some burned her posters in parts of Telangana.
• The Telangana government has moved the Kaleshwaram probe to the CBI following the Ghose Commission’s findings, as Congress called the clash an internal matter and the BJP sought a probe into her claims.
• The rupture has laid bare a family feud at the top of BRS and raised fresh questions about party cohesion, leadership dynamics and potential fallout as legal scrutiny intensifies.
