Overview

  • Kavitha led a Maha Dharna in Hyderabad on June 4 condemning the Justice PC Ghose Commission as a politically motivated probe designed to tarnish KCR’s Kaleshwaram legacy.
  • She accused the state Congress of neglecting repairs on the Medigadda barrage while remaining silent on Andhra Pradesh’s Polavaram-Banakacherla project that she alleges will divert Telangana’s Godavari waters.
  • Party sources confirmed that K Chandrashekar Rao requested the commission to postpone his appearance from June 5 to June 11 due to scheduling constraints.
  • Telangana Congress leaders defended the commission’s authority to summon former officials and accused BRS of misusing funds allocated for the irrigation project.
  • The demonstration highlighted divisions within BRS as no other senior party figures or flags joined Kavitha at the dharna while she asserted her role as KCR’s political heir.
